Note 1
Williams, Alfred: Ms / WGS: 'This, as the words of the song itself imply was written upon the loss of an emigrant ship bound for New Zealand, in the earlier part of the last century. I have heard it but once, i.e. at Ewen near Cirencester, where it is remembered by George Grubb, shepherd.'
Note 2
George Grubb is described elsewhere as 'formerly of South Marston'.
