Child apparently collected some dozen or more versions of Tam Lin, and the Thomas the Rhymer story is related to it as well, and at least 200 years older (1300s rather than 1500s). Children/people stolen by fairies goes way back. I don't have resources to hand to give any details or references other than wikipedia though.
