any info on Dawn Davis?

I like a lot of jazz and blues singers from the 20's and 30's but I especially like the voice of Dawn Davis. The problem is that after about 2 years of on and off searching I have come up with a total of 5, possibly 6, songs of hers. There's the two on the banned! cd, "my private affair" and "And so does he", the one with Ray Noble "when you were the girl on the scooter" and two more I just discovered on a 78 rpm record of hers which I found on ebay titled "love locked out" and "he was a handsome young soldier", which I won for 25 shipped but have yet to receive in the mail. There's also another one called "little man you've had a busy day". I can't confirm that one, as it's not mentioned anywhere online, but it was labeled as her when I downloaded it. It sounds somewhat like her and it is with ray noble, but the voice is deeper than her other stuff, which could simply be an effect of the cleaning up process.

Anyone know of any more songs of hers, or specific 78 records of mp3 files I could find? And can anyone confirm whether the song "little man you've had a busy day" is actually Dawn Davis?
