Thanks for that reply, Barry.

I don't think there is any more to be found out - it is interesting, though, as there was nothing ever mentioned in our family while my father was alive. I don't think he ever joined, either, as there were no relics of his own.

Regards,

Hi Barry, if you are still able to reply on this thread,

I was fascinated to read all the above, as my grandfather was chairman of Croydon Lodge, No. 458, in 1922. He was also landlord of the Oddfellows Arms, at 30 Waddon New Road, Croydon at that time, which may have been connected with his membership of the AOD. I attach 4 photos of item I recently received which had been kept by my father, but never shown to me until now, several years after my father died. I also have his Grand Lodge 'cross' jewel.

Would the letters NA signify 'Noble Arch', was that the title of the 'Chairman' of the time? Finally, is the period of only 3 months on the medal at all unusual? I assumed one would hold the office for a year, usually?

I wonder if there are any records of Lodge 458 for 1922 which might reveal anything else about my grandfather, T. W. Granger, and whether that might be one of the surviving Lodges today?

Chris.
