Samuel Wilkinson was on holiday in August 1902 and it happened to be Coronation Day so Samuel wrote a fascinating diary entry about his day in Windsor.
He also wrote several other diary entries about the day trips that he made by train while enjoying his holiday. Read Samuel Wilkinson's Diary here |

How remarkable! A young man by all accounts yet writing in a really interesting way. I am sure he did well for himself.
I hope we can find out more about him. |

A few months after Samuel Wilkinson's diary of 1902 was included on the Royal Windsor Website, we were delighted to hear from another branch of Samuel's family, this time in the North of England. They had been surprised to find his diary available on the web, and were even more surprised to discover that it had been sent to us by a long-lost branch of their family now living in Italy (2006).
Imagine our surprise and delight therefore when the Middleton family sent the following diary written by a cousin of Samuel Wilkinson, Sarah Jane Ward. It describes a holiday that Sarah Jane spent in Windsor just weeks before Samuel wrote his diary. We are particularly pleased to note that Sarah Jane records a visit to Alexandra Gardens to watch the opening ceremony performed by Princess Christian. Sarah Jane's Diary is now included here following on after Samuel Wilkinson's Diary |
