12th July and Orange Lodges - Help offered

[fmni]

Hi fmni
It was mentioned in our family that my granda was an 'Orange Man' and I am keen to take up your offer to help.  HIs name was Joseph Hamilton, Redcliffe Drive, and he died Feb 1959.  I would be keen on any info and indeed if there is a possibility of getting a photo etc.  I look forward to hearing from you.   

The best way to try and find this man's lodge would be to have an exact date of death? Hopefully if he was an active lodge member, an obituary would have been placed in the local paper around that time. Given his address I would assume he was in a lodge within Ballymacarratt District but impossible to pinpoint which one.

Hi fmni
Thank you for your offer. I am trying to find information on my grandfathers brother William Mullan (and any other siblings he may have had) The only information I can find of William is that he was born Galgorm Co Antrim 1872.
My grandfather Thomas Mullan dob18/7/1874 died 10/1/1944 and his 6 sons Hugh,William, Thomas,James, Adam & Henry were members of Cromkill (Co Antrim) LOL 543. I believe my grandfather was grandmaster for a time.
Thanking you

Will try and look into this for you, LOL 543 Cromkill Occidental Star are still active.

Also his Grandson Richard Robinson was in the same Lodge around 1940s.
And Could you find out who the first members where?

Many thanks
Kind Regards

I can have a look into this for you, but don't know much about the lodge despite it being local to me. I note you have an interest in McFarland's from Derriaghy.  I have two McFarlands - John and James is a 1934 photograph of Derriaghy LOL 135 - any relation?

I see that this is an old post but It would be nice to see if my ancestors did belong to the Orange Lodge. From what I know, they did belong.

Their name would be Benjamin Adair Davidson ( Davison ) of Carnmoney, Antrim, Ireland

Hello there

not if you canhelp me but my grandfather was Samuel Crone - a Mason in Lisburn and I believe he was a member of an Orange Lodge there.

I know he was born before 1933 and he died prior to 1967 that is all I have

Perhaps you can help me - my father passed away last year and I would love to get a hold of the lodge crest.

I've made some initial inquiries - did your Sam Crone live in the Hillhall area and was a member of Christ Church choir in Lisburn? Described by the gentleman who knew him as a 'very polite man who smoked a pipe'? This potentially sounds like your Sam, however haven't been able to make a connection to any lodge in either the Orange or Masonic yet.
