Sally Wheatley is a Joe Wilson song and published in "Bits of Sangs and Homely stories by Joe Wilson" Published in Newcastle in the late 1880's (I don't have my copy to hand but I will check out the date and publisher). The also features in the Musical "Joe Lives!" which was written by Alex Glasgow and others hence the association. Joe was a real 'Character' and in his time was a publican, a music hall performer and a famous Temperance speaker. ^^
