Sally and Sammy – Flickernet

The Wilson family came to Mourne Park in 1916 from Donegal. They lived on the estate for over 50 years

‘Old’ David Wilson was the Head Chauffeur. They lived in The Stables which adjoined the Main House.

Their home was a much valued retreat for Eleanor, for Dad and for me. They were much like grandparents to me and to my sisters.

There were three children, Sally, David and Sammy.

Sally was accidentally run over by a motor car driven by Ellen Constance in 1916. She was given a toy doll while she recovered.

Sally lived to 103: meeting my son just weeks before she passed away.

On this page, in the not to distant future, there will be a more detailed summary of the (Mourne Park) Wilson family and their notable moments
