Hi, thank you for your message. My grandfathers name was Joe Bishop.  I have his sash, but can't find a number or lodge name. The only word I can  make out is enniskilen.

Thank you everyone who replied to my post concerning Wally Hancock, I never expected so much information so quickly.  From what little I know about Wally,Cando has hit the nail on the head and Jen seems to be talking about the same person.  Now I would be grateful of any advice as to find out if Wally and Amy had any children, this is the first time I have visited a site like roots, so am very much a novice as what to do next. I have a photo of Wally in his boxing gear,which was taken from the "ring" november 2nd 1932 "Heros of Sport" and it is the same person in the photo Cando sent me. Again thank you so much for your time and information, and any other help will be gratefully accepted. :D

I am trying to locate any possible family members of Wally Hancock, who was originally from liverpool, and emigrated to australia possibly in the 1940/1950s. Wally was the brother of my late father bertram hancock, who died in 1985, both brothers were in the Royal Navy together, wally was a welterweight boxer in the navy, and later became a champion boxer in Australia. :)

My grandfather was a member of the orange lodge in Workington, not sure of the dates, but I would guess it would be late 1880s or 1890s. Any information would be helpfull, as I am just starting off on this quest. I have no more information myself, the only thing I do have is his sash, which was given to me by my late mother.
