hi i was not sure that it was the same link as also on the info i got there was a ref to him on the same page for the eagle masonic lodge 741 . i did not think it was the same one as i had already recieved . i am trying to get as much info on him as possible as i said i never met him and my father never talked about him i think there was a lot of bad feeling there. thank you zazazoo

So you think William John Lynn came to Canada from Ireland then?
What year was he born and do you know when he might have come here?

hi karen the only thing that i know about him is that he was born in 1871 in edenderry portadown . i know he was a sir kight as when i was achild i lived with my grandmother in portadown for a while i saw a certificate on the wall saying that he was a sir knight . i ask my grandmother about this and was told i was to young to know any thing about it. my father did not talk about him i got the feeling there was bad blood between them some thing to do with my two half sister,s who i think went to live in canada. i think he may have gone with them. zazazoo

"Sir Knight" is a title within the R.B.P. and has nothing to do with anything outside the organisation.
