Note 1
Williams, Alfred: Ms / WGS: It will be noticed that many of the old songs began with the idea of someone overhearing another relating his or her misfortunes and sorrow. It is very naive though the scheme is not inartistic. Tedious, perhaps, it may appear now and then; but we must remember the nature of the materials we are dealing with, and not lose sight of the simplicity of those who sang the pieces. Copy obtained of Mrs Russell, Tetbury.
Note 2
Mrs Russell is identified as having lived her early life in Crudwell, Wiltshire in the introduction to Old grey man WSRO: 2598/36 Packet 2 - Gloucestershire: Williams, A: Ms collection No Gl 161.
