Travelling People / Re: Anyone else read this book "Collecting folk melodies in Herefordshire"

Dear Fandango
Thanks again for your latest reply. I am inclined to believe the suggestion that the Harriet in the book is yours. Mine would only have been 51 when Mrs Leather's book was published in 1912, relating her meeting with her in Herefordshire earlier than that even.
The Harriet Jones in the book is described as an old lady, and so I am inclined to believe she is not mine. In turn, there are references by Mrs Leather in the JGLS in 1925 to Harriet being an Edwards of Newtown and having a son called Alfred Price Jones and another son called Arthur Price Jones. It therefore looks almost certainly like the photograph in Mrs Leather's book is of your ancestor and not mine. If you need any further references to the JGLS article, do let me know.
