Any one with a Music Degree or similar who can tell me what is going on here, I tried to re tab this in Guitar Pro today but there is musical notation with any corresponding TABS? J

Not 100% sure what you are asking my friend ?
I have (I think), the same book, if that's the 'John Renbourn Fingerstyle Guitar' book ? I found the TAB to be quite accurate. One of my favourite songs if I'm honest :-))

I TAB it from the book in Guitar Pro as I then have a single printable sheet and I can control the fonts and elect to have the notation turned on or off, it's much cleaner.
It's in 4/4 time so the first note is a single crotchet (1/4), followed by a two-note crotchet (1/4)and then two quavers (1/8's), and then finally another two-note crotchet (1/4)
The first two notes of the quaver section (beat 3), the third notes in the notation don't have any corresponding TAB.

This is a tied note so the to joined notes are played as a single note or a "3/8". It's the "same" as a dotted crotchet but the convention is to write it as a tied note. Some tab software doesn't show tied notes which I think is causing your confusion? Does that make sense?

The notes are tied, so you only play them once and let them ring on. So in bar 1:
1st beat - 1/4 note A base 2nd beat - E and C 1/4 notes 3rd beat - keep the E and C notes held and let them ring for 1/4 note 3rd and a beat - 1/8 note A to provide a bit of syncopation 4th beat - 1/4 note E and keep the previous 1/8 note A down for a 1/4 note duration
The thumb plays the down strokes and the fingers the up strokes. Sometimes I find its easier to look at the thumb strokes and the finger strokes seperately so that I know the bass pattern and the melody before I try and play them together.
hope that helps Iain

As Iain said, treat the bass line and the treble line as two separate things.
Were I learning this I would first play just the bass line. And to make that easy I would actually put in the third beat (i.e. break the tie) and play it with four bass notes. Then simply omit the third beat (letting the previous beat ring) and you have the bass line in proper rhythm.
Adding the treble in is then relatively easy.
I think it's in cut-time - which means it is similar to 4/4 but each beat is only half as long as in normal 4/4.

I just learned the song by listening to it, and using the TAB from that same book. It was very accurate. I have not tried to analyse the musical notation, my apologies.
