So, any
help...direction...a book reference...an obscure website...would be
appreciated. I don't even know her dates or where she lived.
Thank you!

Basically she was a Folk Song collector to quote the first page of the first link below :
The English Folk Dance and Song Society was formed in 1932 by the merger of two organisations, the Folk Song Society and the English Folk Dance Society formed by Cecil Sharp in 1911.The Folk Song Society, founded in 1898, was the outcome of a number of individual folk song collectors and enthusiasts who wanted to share their experience and improve the quality of collecting and publishing. No geographical limit was set to the Society's activities, and although the main interest were the folk songs of Britain and Ireland, the Journal of the Folk Song Society published articles from other countries as well.From 1904, the Folk Song Society became the focus of the new breed of folksong collectors, led by Cecil Sharp, including Ralph Vaughan Williams, George Butterworth, George Gardiner, Henry Hammond, Annie Gilchrist and Ella Leather, and the Journal published songs from this 'golden age' of folksong collecting.
Here's a few links to help you on your way - but the first one answers the "Who was she" question!
