Harry Hurlbutt Albino collected songs, from Thomas Lanchbury in October 1928. 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.
The songs were:
Come Along with Me My Pretty Fair Maid (Roud 2454),
Come Landlord Fill The Flowing Bowl (Roud 1234),
Darling Miss Kitty (Roud 1202),
Down in the Land of Greeno* (Roud 745),
Farmer's Boy (Roud 408),
Good Old Geoff He's Gone To Rest (Roud 1740),
Gossip Jones* (Roud 1039),
Jolly Shilling* (Roud 1116),
Stow Fair* (Roud 137),
Up To Dick (Roud 23051).
Gossip Jones and Jolly Shilling were published in the Journal of the Folk-Song Society.
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.
