Hi Sandie,

I believe the museum at Harrogate is only GLE specific, so it may be a dead avenue.
I'll check with some of my contacts in other banners to see if they can shed any light on the fob for you.


Thanks Kevin I really do appreciate it

Hi Kevin

Haven't found much unfortunately. I emailed the museum in Harrogate but haven;t had a reply yet.

The latin motto on the fob is "Palma Non Sine Pulvere" and if it helps you my grandfather lived in Sunderland.

Hi Sandie


Certainly if your ancestor was Grand Primo he should be fairly easy to track down.

Can I suggest that you contact the Buffs museum (Stan Stirman) which is housed in Harrogate. Stan is also from the NE.

Try:
Museum.Curator (at) raobgle.org.uk

Replace (at) with @

PLease let me know how you get on.

Regards

Barry

I'm trying to find info on my paternal side of the family particularly about my grandfather, bro George Laybourn R.O.H. I was told he was a Grand Primo, but I haven't been able to find anything on any websites. Sorry I don't have much details with regards date of birth etc all I know is he died in 1958 the and lived in Sunderland which was then County Durham. I also have a watch fob chain with a medalion ROH & Latin motto on the front. Engraved on the back is BRO G. Laybourn R.O.H. 16th Dec 1951. Any information would be great or even a pointer as to where I could find anything about him.
