Two upcoming sales on Saturday, May 15th offer an eclectic mix of memorabilia and furniture. Sean Eacrett’s sale of the contents of Killinagh Lodge include what the auctioneer calls some “chancy” lots of oriental artefacts from the collection of Xandria Williams.
Not everyone can trace their ancestors back to 430AD, but Xandria Williams is not a run of the mill woman. The 80-year-old can trace her family’s lineage back to a combatant in William of Orange’s army at the Battle of the Boyne, when a daughter of the Williams of Brecon Castle in Wales was sent to Rosslare and married a local chieftain.
