This website was his passion and helping people with a common interest in the City of Lisburn around the world is his lasting legacy.

Sam Wilson's grocery store

I worked in Sam Wilson's grocery store on Bow St.
I have no brothers. I left home in 1960. I became friends to the McKeown's after carrying groceries home for them. I dated Patsy and Lena. I used to take Jackie to visit her aunt in Belfast.

I am sure she remembers me.

Hi Ray,
Are you related to the Gilliland's who lived on Alanbrooke Avenue? I can't remember the parents names but they had two boys. The younger boy was called Dennis.

Thank you for the info. You probably know me, I was around their house quite a lot. I remember a friend of theirs who drove a big CoalIsland brick truck. Tommy was very particular about the crease in his pants and his shined shoes. I understand you have no idea where Jackie is.
