Old King Cole (Roud 1164)

Singer: William ‘Barlow’ Debbage

He was born in Martham in 1856 and was there with his parents in 1861, but missing from the census in 1871 so probably at sea aged about 15.  By 1881 he was possibly an unmarried ‘bargeman’ [almost certainly a wherryman] in lodgings in Horning Village, where he was also recorded in 1901, but ‘born Ranworth’ in both cases.  He died in 1923 aged 66.
