was a very popular tune from the late 1830's to the end of the 19th century, frequently published and a common entry in period musicians' manuscript collections.
"Andrew Carey" and variant titles appears in several British musicians' manuscript collections, including William Vickers (Northumberland, 1770), John Buttery (Lincolnshire British army fifer, very early 19th century), Joseph Crawhall (Northumberland, 1872), the Tiller ms., and Thomas Hammersley (London, 1790).  


Colonel Roger “Rory” O’More (c. 1620-1655) was a minor Irish noble and the titular King of Laois, who rose to fame as the scourge of the English during the reign of Charles I.  
It is contained in vol. 2 (p. 146) of the large mid-19th century music manuscript collection of County Cork cleric and uilleann piper [[wikipedia:James_Goodman_(musicolgist)]] (probably copied from J.T. Surenne's 1854 collection).  


The jig was composed by Irish songwriter, novelist, composer and painter Samuel Lover [1] (1797-1868) and became the "hit tune" of 1837. Although initially a dance tune (a popular Scottish country dance is called "Rory O'More"), it was absorbed as a common march in the Victorian era British army and can be found in martial manuscript books dating from the 1850's (Winscott).  
In North America the tune was included by Henry Beck in his commonplace book for the flute (1786), Aaron Thompson (New Jersey, 1777-1782), William Morris (Hunterdon County, New Jersey, 1776-1777), and by Thomas Molyneaux in his flute copybook (Shelburne, Nova Scotia, 1788).

“Rory O’More” also appears in English fiddler’s manuscripts from the same era (see Ellis Knowles and Joshua Gibbons, referenced below).
Bruce & Stokoe print lyrics to the tune, beginning:

The melody was picked up by morris dancers from the village of Adderbury, Oxfordshire, in England's Cotswolds and used as a rural dance vehicle sometimes called by morris musicians as “Haste to the Wedding” and played in the key of ‘F’.

The titles naming Andrew as a 'Kerr' predate the 'Carey' titles (although Carr and Carey are also names used by the same clan). The Kerrs were a Scottish Middle-March Borders clan-family well-known for their raiding, cattle reiving and feuding.
