Hi All,

Has anyone had any luck in contacting the RAOB about their ancestors. I would like to try and find out who the person is in my earlier photo which I believe was taking some time around the start of the 20th century.

Regards,

Hi!

I'm researching my family tree and I'm trying to find out which lodge my great grandfather was a member of, I think he may have been a Primo (is that the right word?).

His name was George Beaney Crawford born 1892 and would have attended a lodge in the South Northumberland / Newcastle area.

I'd really appreciate any help ?

Hi whittenbury -

My grandfather (William George Rogers 1902-1991) was in the Buffs at Chatham, Kent.

Am rummaging around for dates but possibly 1960s/70s, maybe even a little earlier.

If I find anything, will get back to you, but am hoping you may be able to help with records.

This is him.....
Rogers: Sussex
Sanders/Saunders: Brenchley, Kent
Hales: Navenby, Lincs
Lidbetter: Sussex
Burns: Birmingham/Weston-super-Mare
Gray/Stocks: Weston-super-Mare

Bubb: Kent
Ward: Notts

Having read through the posts on this site, I can see there are a number of photographs posted, If anyone has any information or photographs of my great grandfather, Alexander Ferguson who was a member of the RAOB in 1918 and attended lodge No 77 Oliver Cromwell Lodge, I would be grateful to receive it.

I believe I have come onto possession of the medal on the left in the picture of John "Jack" Hainsworth/ It is still in its presentation box. It was issued in March 1894 according to the inscription on the rear.

Hi,
I have a medal dated 1897 presented to my GG Grandfather. This is an order of Merit and Honor of knighthood.
The Lodge is inscribed as the Royal Victoria Lodge, probably Stoke-on-Trent, North Staffordshire.
He was given a "buffaloes funeral" and I'm told that the officials from the Grand Lodge attended the funeral in 1920 but have been unable to find out what this means. His name is George Atkin(s).
Do you have any details about the Lodge that would help please.
