Gosh, amazing discovery - thank you!! It would definitely seem that she is our woman, from the information from Phil d'Conch. Thanks so much for looking into that for me!

Mick Pearce - the Julian Wright connection makes a lot of sense!! How exciting, I'm going to look at those songs right now, they could well be Mrs Booth's, couldn't they!!

With the Seaham connection, I think it's fairly arbitrary - the information about A. M. Booth (who we may now be able to fairly confidently call Ann), came from an article which included lots of snippets of information about interesting things from around Britain.

The Queen Anne pub is currently being sold and my family are from those parts. The pub is much loved by the community and has been there since 1624. I'm trying to find out things of interest about the place, and as a folk musician myself, I loved the idea of finding some of the songs written by the landlady - maybe even getting someone to perform it in there!

I am so grateful for all the help, thank you.
