I have been interested in the Big House ancestry since I read the novel The Last September by Elizabeth Bowen. My local Big House is in Mourne Park Kilkeel which is currently owned by the Anley's.
I went on the website for Mounre Park and emailed Mrs Julie-Ann Anley who answered within two days, asking me 'how can I help?' and gave my her phone number. After two phone calls she invited me for coffee so that she could discuss her research and information that she had gathered for me.
