signed at Greystones, seventeen were certainly connected in
40
some way with one or more other signatories.
Moving on to those who
signed elsewhere, we find a
mother and two daughters
(Laura, Octavia and Lettice
McCausland, of Holyfield,
Delgany), two sisters and an
aunt (Emily Millicent and
Georgina Isabella Totten-
ham, and Anna Maclean, of
Belmont, Bray), the two
Lindsay sisters (Florence
and Gwendoline), of Cool-
roe, Tinahely, a mother and
daughter (Lucie and Helen
Clement, who gave their
address as Rynnville, Bray),
and sisters Fanny Digby and
Elizabeth Sandars of
Dromore, Greystones, who
signed in Dublin, as indeed
did Mrs Digby’s parlour maid,
Margaret Hamilton, and her
cook, Lilian Hill, from Co
Tyrone and Co Down
respectively.

40 It is possible that the eighteenth Greystones signatory, Maud Steuart
Jackson, was also part of the Cowan/Harrison group: her brother, James,
who worked in the Irish Land Commission and was currently studying for the
Bar, was a longtime close friend of William E Wylie, then a barrister, later
prosecuting counsel at the trials of the 1916 insurgents, and subsequently a
judge of the High Court in the Irish Free State, 1924-1936.
