Note 1
Williams, Alfred: Ms / WGS: 'The Three Jolly Huntsmen, also known as 'Bold Reynolds', was exceedingly popular throughout the Thames Vale, though I had considerable difficulty in securing the complete copy, as the versions differed radically in almost every village. In order to complete the version given I compounded from scraps obtained at Cumnor, Shaw [near Swindon], Ogbourne, Lechlade, Bampton and Lydford [Berkshire].

Note 2
On the basis of the above I have attributed this to David Sawyer, the only named person collected by Williams in Ogbourne.
