Derriaghy L.O.L. 135 - 1934

[fmni]

This is a picture I have of Derriaghy Loyal Orange Lodge No. 135 - taken on the 12th July 1934. I would like to try and find out about some of the people in this picture and would hope that perhaps living relatives may come across this and recognise someone in the picture or recognise a name.

Back Row: R Bunting, J Smith, G Wallace, R Hall, John McFarland, P McKinstrey, J McWatters Jun., F Murphy, E Burke, R K Long, J May, R K Megran, S Murland, S Dugan

Middle Row: W J McWatters, R MacHenry, J Berry, D McKinstrey, J McWatters Sen., J Grant, M McCarrell, T Dugan, R Refausse, W Glover Sen., James McFarland, W Refausse, R Taggart, H V Refausse, A Dugan, P McHenry, R Watson

Front Row: F Larmour, E Robinson, W Glover Jun., D G Morrow, R Refausse, W A Long, J Brown, H MacHenry, N Brown, W G Long, A Refausse, G Wright, R J Leckey

Seated Children: T Hall, J Dugan, J Hanna, S Dugan, A May


 The actual picture itself is much bigger and very clear so individuals can be blown up and viewed if desired. I would love to hear from anyone who may have a family connection with the lodge and if anyone is interested in a particular individual from the picture, let me know and I will see what I can find.

Hello fmni,

There's one surname that stands out. I've sent you a PM with the name of a person it might be worthwhile contacting as I'm certain that a family with that surname lived in
the Derriaghy area.

I am interested in your post on several scores. There's one name on the photo - RJ Leckey  - he may, or may not, be connected to a William(Billy) Leckey,wno m'd my aunt Martha Mc Dowell.(They lived near Derriaghy church for years,then Seymour Hill) Her sister Mary Mc Dowell m'd a Johnny Hill,from Dunmurry.Another sister,Nancy Mc Dowell m'd Stephen Mc Alister.(my parents) My Blacks and Mc Dowells lived at Lambeg. The Mc Dowells attended Derriaghy C.ofI.
William John Mc Dowell (my grandfather,father of Martha and Mary)came from Magheralin,but lived his life,after marriage to Elizabeth Black,at Lambeg,and died there. ( Elizabeth's sister Jane Black m'd James Irwin and lived at Lambeg too)
In Co Down - I am looking for info on a Henry Mc Carthy/Macaugherty who possibly married a Dolly Titterington c 1825/30 in Moira/Banbridge/Hillsborough area.(my paternal line. Mc Alister/Mc Carthy/Macaugherty)Any help appreciated. Agnetta

I'm hoping with the imminent release of the 1911 census I will be able to build a better profile of some of these individuals.

Interesting to see you have a Titterington in your clan as well - my Titterington's are from Moira - haven't come across a Dolly as yet though.

I think "Dolly" is a pet /short name for Dorothy. Agnetta

The photo shows my father, Harold Refausse, when he was 20 and my grandfather Robert when he was 52 both in the middle row. It's hard to tell from the photo but I think the W Refausse is William who would have been 27 and who emigrated to the US, the other R Refausse a Robert Anthony and the A Refausse an Anthony who would have been about 56.

Is it possible to get a copy of the photograph?

[fmni]

Rush, I will send you a PM. I remember "H.V." as he was known in the lodge very well - and he would have been good friends with my own father. To be honest I have been trying to track down his relatives for quite a while!

[fmni]

Rush1, here is both your father and grandfather close up in the photograph...

Harold Refausse:



Robert Refausse:



I would still be keen to chat with you about their involvement in the lodge and hopefully get to you a copy of the full picture, would be nice for you to have considering how many relatives are in it.

Regards,
Mark
