Hi,
where would I find records on people who have been in the Orange Lodge?
Also, I have a photograph with someone wearing an orange collar, with lots of medals on. I wondered if there was somewhere I could find out what they all meant.
Thanks,
Red :)

As Allan said, someone at the VMH should be able to Help (there are some Older Members Who may even Recognise the Person in the Photo!). ;)

I will give VMH a ring. Thanks for the advice. My Nan was in LOL 68 and Grandad LOL 765 or 3.

I would say (looking at their Clothes & Hair Styles) C1946-55?
P.S.
Your Grandfather is wearing J.M. on His Collar (near the bottom), This signifies that He was a 'Juvenile Master' (Master in charge of a Childrens Lodge).

;D
Records are kept by the secretary of the district of that particular lodge, I don't know where they keep all past records, but they would be like a register and people would only be listed as attending monthly meetings.
There are some records for the Orange Lodge at Liverpool Records Office.
I think your best bet would be to contact Liverpool Provincial Club at Everton Road. But I don't think you will have any luck, the information is confidential. The photo is wonderful, that would go down well at "The Provvy" As you have the district numbers on the colaretts, that might be a great asset to have and maybe someone will know what district they were from.
I could do some asking for you, nearly all my family were in the lodge.
The best of luck

Each Lodge is responsible for the keeping of it's own records!

;D
Hi Pegasuss,
Yes, sorry. I forgot I suppose I should have worded my post differently. I was only in it a short while and I didn't know what they did with all the information, lists of members, dues etc.
I remember a similar topic on another site and I don't know if the person asking the question ever found anything out.

I am the secretary of LOL763 Defenders of Derry in Liverpool. I may be able to help as I have extensive records of our LOdge

Hello Chaz763
Are you allowed to give out information or are your records covered by data protection and what years if any are you allowed to divulge information on. I had family members in the lodge in Liverpool born in 1880's and members until late in life and wonder what you can tell me about them.
-
Hi, I'm quite happy to help anyone with Gen assistance from my Lodge going back to 1904 (formed) and the members mandate me to help. The OP on this thread seems to have a link to 763 on their family so I can be of particular assistance to them.
visit www.liverpool-lol.co.uk and send a secure message via the site which takes many Gen enquiries.
Put as much info as you can on and we'll do our best. As regards the DPA our records are similar to Church records and being a fraternal organisation we have no issues.
The LOL in Liverpool is in a process of depositing minute books to Liverpool Library at present and if all Lodges deposited their books there would be thousands of minute books - these will be subject to the DPA but accessible with consent from the Order - Library rules :)
I will say though that Gen enquiries from 1900 ish are rearely successful unless the person was an officer where detailed records exist - sole members of the LOL who went no further are hard to trace

Chaz.
Would You know If the Pride of Aintree records are/have been Deposited at Liverpool Library?
My Grandfather & his Siblings were Officers & longtime members of the Male & Female Lodges.
-
Send me a secure message via www.liverpool-lol.co.uk on the 'contact us' page and I'll forward the request on.
The Lodges still exist - the band went about 5 years ago though.
I'd confidently say that the Lodge still has (what hasn't been lost :-[) all its own records as the Livrpool library objective was only muted a few months ago and things move rather slooooooowly in the LOL :)
The requests via the LPGL website are recognised by Lodges and Districts more so that's the best route.
Good Luck
