I am looking for information on the singers from whom the noted folksong collectors of a century ago took down their songs: Lucy Broadwood, C#, George Butterfield, George Gardiner, Ralph Vaughan Williams, and the others of that generation. Sabine Baring-Gould describes some of his singers, but often nothing more is given than the date of collection, place of collection, singer's name and age--or even less than that, or nothing at all. References to any published sources will be appreciated.
