Louisa Thames STEWART (1891-1970) was born at Stuartfield,
Old Deer, Aberdeenshire - her father a tinsmith and her mother, Elizabeth
Townsley, came from Durham - and because her family were all travellers
she was mostly on the road, so she only had four and a half years schooling,
learning her songs from her parents about the age of nine. Recorded by Peter
Kennedy & Hamish Henderson in 1955. |
