Have you tried looking for published sources and buying copies of any relevant books?

His tunes will (obviously) still be in copyright so strictly speaking transcriptions should not be made and handed round.

Composers vary in their reactions to informal copies - some welcome the propagation of their tunes, others get quite upset - and the law is on the side of the latter.

Good luck

I met Phil many years ago asked him if he had the tunes in a book he said he was putting it together at that time, but took the time out for me to write the dots down for what i wanted A true gentlemen.
He did produce a book i think it was called the house in roose valley

The book is:

Phil Cunningham - The Cunningham Collection Vol 1: The House In Rose Valley, published 1995 by Phil Cunningham Publications, no ISBN.

However it doesn't contain either of the tunes the OP is looking for ...
