<p>Paul Burgess: </p> <hr /> <div>'''Frederick George Gardner''' (1830 - 1927) was born in Marylebone, London. By 1851 he had moved to Oxfordshire and was lodging in North Leigh with John Webb and his family, including his son George who was 5 years older. They worked as agricultural labourers, whilst John's eldest daughter was involved in one of the big domestic industries of the area, glove making. It was in 1851 that Fred Gardner went to the septennial &quot;great meeting at a Lamb Ale at Woodstock&quot; - as he described it to Cecil Sharp (see below). After marrying his wife Mary, he set up shop in Corn Street, Witney as a baker. The couple had 6 children there but, after the early death of his wife at the age of 45 (in early 1880), his two youngest children, Alfred and Florece Ann stayed at home and helped with the business until his death in February 1927 at the ripe old age of 97 years.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;<br /> He was visited by Cecil Sharp on 4th April 1912 and Gardner gave him several morris dance tunes - presumably those used by the North Leigh Set:<br /> &lt;BR&gt;<br /> &lt;BR&gt;<br /> 2765 - Mrs Kaysey (Morris Tune)&lt;BR&gt; <br /> 2766 - Boys of the Bunch (Morris Air)&lt;BR&gt;<br /> 2767 - The Black Joke http://www.vwml.org/record/CJS2/10/2767&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;<br /> <br /> There is no indication as to whether Gardner played an instrument, it may be that, as with Harry Taylor at Longborough, Sharp noted down the tunes from Gardner's whistling. He was, however, a dancer and well remembered by one of his contemporaries in the North Leight set, William Partlett, who had lived 6 doors away from Gardner. He was &quot;as lissome as a cat, an out and out dancer, like on wires&quot;. <br /> Sharp noted the following:<br /> &quot;Fred Gardner (80) an old man now living at a Baker's shop in Corn Street, Witney. He gave me several tunes (see tune book) and items of information. They dance with sticks and handkerchiefs. Sometimes they used cocoa nuts in clapping dances. They sawed a cocoa nut in half, scooped out the kernel, and then made 2 holes in each half connected with a ribbon. The hand was passed through theis ribbon as under the strap of a concertina and the half nut held in the palm, concave outwards. They struck each others hands as well as their own together.

<p>Paul Burgess: </p> <hr /> <div>[[James Madison Carpenter]] collected a number of songs, rhymes and childrens' games from C. S. Neal at |Glebe Farm, Weston Subedge, Gloucestershire in 1935.<br /> <br /> <br /> '''Charlotte Shayler Neal (nee Robins''') (1861-1959) was born in the (then) [[Worcestershire]] (now) [[Warwickshire]] village of Shipston-on-Stour. Her father, George Amphlette Robins was born in Parsons Street, Banbury, Oxfordshire. His parents (James and Sarah) were confectioners and he soon started to follow his father's trade. In 1856 at the age of twenty, he married a girl from Shipston, Mary Shayler Best, who was in service at a local firm of auctioneers. Her mother's maiden name was Shayler and the names Shayler and Best were subsequently given to several children in the family. She appears to have died fairly young and her widowed husband, Henry, a watchmaker in the Shambles at Shipston, soon had the newly-married couple setting up home next door to him as confectioners.<br /> <br /> Charlotte was the second of their three children (preceded by Eliza Best Robins, b1860 and followed by John Hamilton Robins, b 1864). Following the death of her mother in 1867, when Charlotte was 7, her father almost immediately remarried (Thirza Scarsbrook), but continued to live and work in Shipston. Thirza, too died young, in 1871 and George Robins remarried a few years later. This marriage was to Harriett Nicholls, a girl who had family living at Neithrop, Banbury, close to where George had been brought up, and George moved back to Banbury, setting up his confectioners shop at 6 Cherwell Terrace.<br /> <br /> Charlotte, however, stayed in Shipston, continuing to live in the Shambles accompanied by her aunt, Mary Best. Mary Best, originating from London, was now the head of the household and was recorded as &quot;living on own means&quot;, whilst no occupation is recorded for Charlotte. Mary Best was born around 1806 and is the most likely candidate as the source from whom Charlotte learned many of her songs and games.<br /> In the notes to some of the songs Charlotte said &quot;learned as a little girl, more than fifty years ago, in Shipston-on-Stour, Warwickshire, from my aunt&quot;. She would have been about 74 when she said this. Fifty years previously she was aged 20 and living with her aunt, although it is quite possible that her aunt had come to live with the family on previous occasions.<br /> <br /> In 1894 Charlotte married a local farmer, Ernest Neal and they went back to Ernest's parental home in Long Comtpon (by now in Warwickshire), where two sons and a further daughter were born. Following her husband Ernest's death in 1919, Charlotte moved to another farm in Gloucestershire, Glebe Farm at Aston Subedge, where she was visited by James Madison Carpenter around 1935, providing him with a large number of songs, games and rhymes. Charlotte Neal died at the age of 97 on 15 March 1959. Her sons moved a distance away from the area, but her daughters remained fairly close.<br /> <br /> &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;<br /> == Songs ==<br /> {|Class = &quot;wikitable sortable&quot;<br /> |-<br /> !width=&quot;280&quot;|Title<br /> !width=&quot;80&quot;|Roud number<br /> !width=&quot;300&quot;|Comments<br /> |-<br /> |[[Froggie Would a Wooing Go ]]<br /> |align= &quot;center&quot;|16<br /> |Song; 17 stanzas; &quot;A froggie would a wooing go&quot;<br /> |-<br /> |[[(Here Come) Three Dukes a Riding ]]<br /> |align= &quot;center&quot;|730<br /> |Song - singing game; 6 stanzas; 1 line game description - Here comes three Dukes a riding.&lt;BR&gt;<br /> There is 1 cylinder and 1 disk recording of this item.<br /> |-<br /> |[[Three Ships a Sailing]]<br /> |align= &quot;center&quot;|700<br /> |Song - carol; 3 stanzas - &quot;I saw three ships come sailing in&quot;<br /> |-<br /> |[[Wall Flower]]<br /> |align= &quot;center&quot;|6307<br /> |Song - 1 stanza - &quot;Wall flowers wall flowers growing up so high&quot;<br /> |-<br /> |[[The Miller]]<br /> |align= &quot;center&quot;|733<br /> |song - singing game; 1 stanza; 1 line game description; 2 staves music - &quot;There was an old Miller and he lived by himself&quot;&lt;BR&gt;<br /> Note reads 'Mr __ Bishops Quay Cornwall'.

<p>Paul Burgess: </p> <hr /> <div>[[James Madison Carpenter]] collected a number of songs, rhymes and childrens' games from C. S. Neal at |Glebe Farm, Weston Subedge, Gloucestershire in 1935.<br /> <br /> <br /> '''Charlotte Shayler Neal (nee Robins''') (1861-1959) was born in the (then) [[Worcestershire]] (now) [[Warwickshire]] village of Shipston-on-Stour. Her father, George Amphlette Robins was born in Parsons Street, Banbury, Oxfordshire to a confectioner and his wife (James and Sarah) and he soon started to follow his father's trade. In 1856 at the age of twenty, he married a girl from Shipston, Mary Shayler Best, who was in service at a local firm of auctioneers. Her mother's maiden name was Shayler and the names Shayler and Best were subsequently given to several children in the family. She appears to have died fairly young and her widowed husband, Henry, a watchmaker in the Shambles at Shipston, soon had the newly-married couple setting up home next door to him as confectioners.<br /> <br /> Charlotte was the second of their three children (preceded by Eliza Best Robins, b1860 and followed by John Hamilton Robins, b 1864). Following the death of her mother in 1867, when Charlotte was 7, her father almost immediately remarried (Thirza Scarsbrook), but continued to live and work in Shipston. Thirza, too died young, in 1871 and George Robins remarried a few years later. This marriage was to Harriett Nicholls, a girl who had family living at Neithrop, Banbury, close to where George had been brought up, and George moved back to Banbury, setting up his confectioners shop at 6 Cherwell Terrace.<br /> <br /> Charlotte, however, stayed in Shipston, continuing to live in the Shambles accompanied by her aunt, Mary Best. Mary Best, originating from London, was now the head of the household and was recorded as &quot;living on own means&quot;, whilst no occupation is recorded for Charlotte. Mary Best was born around 1806 and is the most likely candidate as the source from whom Charlotte learned many of her songs and games.<br /> In the notes to some of the songs Charlotte said &quot;learned as a little girl, more than fifty years ago, in Shipston-on-Stour, Warwickshire, from my aunt&quot;. She would have been about 74 when she said this. Fifty years previously she was aged 20 and living with her aunt, although it is quite possible that her aunt had come to live with the family on previous occasions.<br /> <br /> In 1894 Charlotte married a local farmer, Ernest Neal and they went back to Ernest's parental home in Long Comtpon (by now in Warwickshire), where two sons and a further daughter were born.

<p>Paul Burgess: </p> <hr /> <div>'''Henry Charles Albino''' (1859-1925) was the father of the collector [[Harry Hurlbutt Albino]] and the source of two of his songs.<br /> &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;<br /> Henry's father, Vittorio (Victor), had, like several of his brothers, immigrated to England from Garzeno in the Lombardy region and several of them started businesses as jewellers and watchmakers – his older brothers Donato and Daminico set up in the trade in nearby Cheltenham High Street and one of Vittorio’s sons, Joseph, went to live with Donato as his assistant. Vittorio arrived in England probably in the second half of 1841 and had, by early 1842 married Eliza Wilson and settled down as a jeweller in the Cotswold village of Bourton-on-the-Water. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;<br /> Vittorio's youngest child, of 3 sons and 2 daughters, Henry Charles was born at Bourton in 1859 and following the untimely death of his father in 1864 (at the early age of 51), was sent to Cheltenham College where he boarded at Birdlip House, under the care of its master Jason Cox. His widow, Eliza, became landlady of the Cricket Players Inn (now known at the Longstop) in Church Gate, Leicester and following his schooling Henry Charles (as well as his older sister Elizabeth) moved to Leicester to help their mother in her business as a licensed victualler. Whilst he was there he met and married Mary Jane Ann &quot;Jeannie&quot; Hurlbutt, before becoming a Shipbroker's Clerk and moving to 1 Compton Terrace, Winchmore Hill, where their first son, Henry Hurlbutt Albino was born in 1889 and baptized at the church of St Mary, Edmonton on 8 February 1890. They stayed in London, although their youngest son (Harold Wilson Albino) was born in Brighton, a place they had been noted as visiting during the 1901 census. Life obviously prospered for the Albinos. They moved to ‘Hazeldean’ in Rutford Road, Streatham where they employed two servants. After returning to Gloucestershire, where they lived in the Manor House at Bourton-on-the-Water with their son [[Harry Hurlbutt Albino]], Henry Charles died in 1925, but his widow lived until the middle of 1954.

<p>Paul Burgess: </p> <hr /> <div>Daniel Morgan (7 June 1855 - &gt;1911) was a singer who provided several songs for [[Alfred Williams]]. <br /> <br /> == Life == <br /> <br /> A family story had it that Daniel's great-grandfather was a squire who disinherited his son because he had fallen in love with a gipsy girl. Despite this they ran off together. Daniel's father, William, was a basketmaker, and Daniel was born in June 1855 whilst the family were camped on Abingdon Common in Berkshire. He was baptised in August that year at Clifton, Bristol. By 1871, William had taken his family to live at 2 Stanhope Street, Cheltenham, Gloucestershire where he continued to ply the trade of basket-maker. In 1875 Daniel married a local Cheltenham girl, Elizabeth Davis - at this point, both Daniel and his father were described as hawkers and the couple made the move down to Wiltshire, where they were noted as living in tents and travelling with other gipsy familes: King, Loveridge, Davies, Shaw, Smith and Stephens. He returned to Cheltenham at the turn of the century, where he was noted as having a shop as a &quot;general dealer&quot; in Worcester Street, only a few yards from his previous home and just down the road from his elderly father. After his father's death in 1904, he appears to have moved back to Wiltshire, where he was a &quot;Marine Store Dealer&quot;, living with his wife and youngest son John at Malthouse Farm, Purton, on the edge of the common. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;<br /> Alfred Williams met him in 1915 when he was living in a cottage at Braydon Wood Lane, Purton.

<p>Paul Burgess: </p> <hr /> <div>Daniel Morgan<br /> Daniel Morgan (7 June 1855 - &gt;1911) was a singer who provided several songs for [[Alfred Williams]]. <br /> <br /> A family story had it that Daniel's great-grandfather was a squire who disinherited his son, who had fallen in love with a gipsy girl. Despite this they ran off together. Daniel's father, William, was a basketmaker, and Daniel was born in June 1855 whilst the family were camped on Abingdon Common in Berkshire. He was baptised in August that year at Clifton, Bristol. By 1871, William had taken his family to live at 2 Stanhope Street, Cheltenham, Gloucestershire where he continued to ply the trade of basket-maker. In 1875 Daniel married a local Cheltenham girl, Elizabeth Davis - at this point, both Daniel and his father were described as hawkers and the couple made the move down to Wiltshire, where they were noted as living in tents and travelling with other gipsy familes: King, Loveridge, Davies, Morgan, Shaw, Smith and Stephens. He returned to Cheltenham at the turn of the century, where he was noted as having a shop as a &quot;general dealer&quot; in Worcester Street, only a few yards from his previous home and just down the road from his elderly father.

<p>Paul Burgess: </p> <hr /> <div>'''Henry Charles Albino''' (1859-1925) was the father of the collector [[Harry Hurlbutt Albino]] and the source of two of his songs.<br /> &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;<br /> His father, Vittorio (Victor), had, like several of his brothers, immigrated to England from Garzeno in the Lombardy region and several of them started businesses as jewellers and watchmakers – his older brothers Donato and Daminico set up in the same trade in nearby Cheltenham High Street and one of Vittorio’s sons, Joseph, went to live with Donato as his assistant. Vittorio arrived in England probably in the second half of 1841 and had, by early 1842 married Eliza Wilson and settled down as a jeweller in the Cotswold village of Bourton-on-the-Water. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;<br /> His youngest child, of 3 sons and 2 daughters, Henry Charles was born at Bourton in 1859 and following the untimely death of his father in 1864 (at the early age of 51), was sent to Cheltenham College where he boarded at Birdlip House, under the care of its master Jason Cox. His widow, Eliza, became landlady of the Cricket Players Inn (now known at the Longstop) in Church Gate, Leicester and following his schooling Henry Charles (as well as his older sister Elizabeth) moved to Leicester to help their mother in her business as a licensed victualler. Whilst he was there he met and married Mary Jane Ann &quot;Jeannie&quot; Hurlbutt, before becoming a Shipbroker's Clerk and moving to 1 Compton Terrace, Winchmore Hill, where their first son, Henry Hurlbutt Albino was born in 1889 and baptized at the church of St Mary, Edmonton on 8 February 1890. They stayed in London, although their youngest son (Harold Wilson Albino) was born in Brighton, a place they had been noted as visiting during the 1901 census. Life obviously prospered for the Albinos. They moved to ‘Hazeldean’ in Rutford Road, Streatham where they employed two servants. After returning to Gloucestershire, where they lived in the Manor House at Bourton-on-the-Water with their son [[Harry Hurlbutt Albino]], Henry Charles died in 1925, but his widow lived until the middle of 1954. There is an impressive stained-glass memorial window to Henry Charles in the church of St. Lawrence.<br /> &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;<br /> Harry Hurlbutt Albino made arrangements of two songs, both of which he described as being “sung to me by my father who learned it as a boy in Gloucestershire”.<br /> &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;<br /> == Songs ==<br /> {|Class = &quot;wikitable sortable&quot;<br /> |-<br /> !width=&quot;280&quot;|Title<br /> !width=&quot;80&quot;|Roud number<br /> !width=&quot;280&quot;|Comments<br /> |-<br /> |[[Oh Soldier Soldier Will You Marry Me?]]<br /> |align= &quot;center&quot;|498<br /> |<br /> |-<br /> |[[Sam, Sam The Hacking Man]]<br /> |align= &quot;center&quot;|19087<br /> |<br /> |}<br /> <br /> Paul Burgess</div>

<p>Paul Burgess: </p> <hr /> <div>'''Henry Charles Albino''' (1859-1925) was the father of the collector [[Harry Hurlbutt Albino]] and the source of two of his songs.<br /> &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;<br /> His father, Vittorio (Victor), had, like several of his brothers, immigrated to England from Garzeno in the Lombardy region and several of them started businesses as jewellers and watchmakers – his older brothers Donato and Daminico set up in the same trade in nearby Cheltenham High Street and one of Vittorio’s sons, Joseph, went to live with Donato as his assistant. Vittorio arrived in England probably in the second half of 1841 and had, by early 1842 married Eliza Wilson and settled down as a jeweller in the Cotswold village of Bourton-on-the-Water. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;<br /> His youngest child, of 3 sons and 2 daughters, Henry Charles was born at Bourton in 1859 and following the untimely death of his father in 1864 (at the early age of 51), was sent to Cheltenham College where he boarded at Birdlip House, under the care of its master Jason Cox. His widow, Eliza, became landlady of the Cricket Player Inn in Church Gate, Leicester and following his schooling Henry Charles (as well as his older sister Elizabeth) moved to Leicester to help their mother in her business as a licensed victualler. Whilst he was there he met and married Mary Jane Ann &quot;Jeannie&quot; Hurlburt, before becoming a Shipbrokers Clerk and moving to 1 Compton Terrace, Winchmore Hill, where their first son, Henry Hurlbut Albino was born in 1889 and baptized at the church of St Mary, Edmonton on 8 February 1890. They stayed in London, although their youngest son (Harold Wilson Albino) was born in Brighton, a place they had been noted as visiting during the 1901 census. Life obviously prospered for the Albinos. They moved to ‘Hazeldean’ in Rutford Road, Streatham where they employed two servants. After returning to Gloucestershire, Henry Charles died in 1925, but his widow lived until the middle of 1954.<br /> &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;<br /> Henry Hurlbutt Albino made arrangements of two songs, which he said were “sung to me by my father who learned it as a boy in Gloucesterhire”.<br /> &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;<br /> The songs were<br /> &lt;BR&gt;<br /> ''[[Oh Soldier Soldier Will You Marry Me?]]'' (Roud 489)&lt;BR&gt;<br /> ''[[Sam, Sam The Hacking Man]]'' (Roud 19087)&lt;BR&gt;<br /> <br /> Paul Burgess</div>

<p>Paul Burgess: /* Background */</p> <hr /> <div>'''Thomas Lanchbury''' (1865 - 24 July 1934) was a cowman from the Gloucestershire village of Wyck Rissington, from whom [[Harry Hurlbutt Albino]] collected songs in October 1928 (the family name is also often spelled Lainchbury and Launchbury). <br /> <br /> == Songs ==<br /> {|Class = &quot;wikitable sortable&quot;<br /> |-<br /> !width=&quot;280&quot;|Title<br /> !width=&quot;80&quot;|Roud number<br /> !width=&quot;280&quot;|Comments<br /> |-<br /> |[[Come Along with Me My Pretty Fair Maid]]<br /> |align= &quot;center&quot;|2454<br /> |<br /> |-<br /> |[[Come Landlord Fill The Flowing Bowl]]<br /> |align= &quot;center&quot;|1234<br /> |<br /> |-<br /> |[[Darling Miss Kitty]]<br /> |align= &quot;center&quot;|1202<br /> |<br /> |-<br /> |''[[Down in the Land of Greeno]]''*<br /> |align= &quot;center&quot; |745<br /> |a version of [[Old Macdonald had a Farm]]<br /> |-<br /> |''[[Farmer's Boy]]''<br /> |align= &quot;center&quot; |408<br /> |<br /> |-<br /> |''[[Good Old Geoff He's Gone To Rest]]''<br /> |align= &quot;center&quot; |1740<br /> |<br /> |-<br /> |''[[Gossip Jones]]''*<br /> |align= &quot;center&quot; |1039<br /> |<br /> |-<br /> |''[[Jolly Shilling]]''*<br /> |align= &quot;center&quot; |1116<br /> |<br /> |-<br /> |''[[Stow Fair]]''*<br /> |align= &quot;center&quot; |137<br /> |<br /> |-<br /> |''[[Up To Dick]]''<br /> |align= &quot;center&quot; |23051<br /> |<br /> |}<br /> <br /> * songs noted as having been collected by J. D. S. Albino (see below)<br /> <br /> == Background ==<br /> <br /> In Albino's collection, it is recorded that J. D. S. Albino (who I have been unable to identify so far) collected four of the songs, which I have identified with an asterisk.<br /> [[Gossip Jones]] and [[Jolly Shilling]] were published in the Journal of the Folk-Song Society. [[Gossip Jones]] was also popularised by Albino's setting for Unison voices with descant published by Curwen. This is described as being &quot;collected, arranged and words adapted by H. H. Albino&quot; - so perhaps they were not collected by J. D. S Albino after all! Around this time he also arranged [[Stow Fair]] with its chorus characters of &quot;Bill Brewer, Jack Steward, Jerry Hawkins, Dick Joseph, Harry Hillop, Tom Bawling, Dick Chapman, Ben Paxwain - with your Uncle Tom Goblin and all&quot;, although this was never published.<br /> <br /> Albino noted the following: &quot;Thomas Lanchbury, who is about 60 years of age works as a cowman. He also &quot;belongs to the tower&quot;, that is to say he is one of the local church bellringers, a position whih his father and grandfather held. He can remember the morris dancers and the home-made fiddle that supplied the music. He says that this instrument was made with two tins fixed at either end of a stick of wood with a piece of whipchord [sic] stretched across from one tin to the other. A bow was used but he cannot remember how the notes were made. He says that &quot;there wasn't much of a tune about it, it just kept the dancers going.&quot; It probably served to mark the rhythm.&quot;<br /> <br /> Albino noted that this was possibly a &quot;humpenscrump&quot;. The performance described probably occurred during the 1870s - but this tantalising glimpse gives us no further information as to which dancers were involved.<br /> <br /> Thomas Lanchbury was born in the village of Wyck Rissington in 1865, the son of John and Hannah who both worked on the land. In 1887 he married a local girl, Florence Malvina Webb, who died the following year. Some 14 years later, in 1902, he married again, this time to Catherine Higgs. They remained in Wyck Rissington throughout their lives, with Thomas continuing to work as a Cattleman, or Cowman on the nearby farm - the trade he was following when Albino met him. Catherine died in 1933 at the age of 76 and Thomas died on 24 July 1934 at the age of 69.<br /> <br /> Paul Burgess<br /> <br /> == References ==<br /> <br /> Journal of the Folk-Song Society 8 (1930) pp.233-235 (version a)&lt;BR&gt;<br /> H.
