ref the feathers:
Grand Master of the Freemasons 1874 to 1901 was the Prince of Wales - Albert Edward, Prince of Wales

Seems a few new Masonic lodges in 1870's were named "Albert Edward Lodge" to honour the prince.

Hi Rjknott,
Thankyou for your comments. I know about the cousins marrying i.e. Isabella to William George, but am surprised by your 1813 baptism !! I havent seen this anywhere, do you mean the baptism of Boheme Burt? only he got married in 1801 or do you mean the baptism of one of his children? I have been searching for his birth for a few years now and cannot find him anywhere, I assume he was born about 1770/1780 ish, and as far as being a mariner that is the first clue to his occupation I have heard of.
The evidence I have that he was a Burt is a photograph album from my deceased parents.
Kind regards, Cockneygirl.
Burt. Haines, Ritchie, Flood etc. etc.

Hi,
I forgot to say in my last post that I have today emailed the photo to the Freemasons Society to see if they can come up with anything for me. Cockneygirl

I am surprised by your 1813 baptism !!

St John, Horsleydown
Mary Burt  bap  10 Jan 1813    b 12 Dec 1812
dau of Bohemia and Ann Burt, mariner of John Street

Given that Bohemia Burt's second marriage to Jane Wilson in 1823 was in Shoreditch, it's just possible that these are connected:

5 Dec 1824 St Luke, Finsbury
Jane Burt of North St buried age 30

19 Jan 1834 St James, Clerkenwell
(no name) Burt of North St (?) age 64

Hi Cockneygirl  :)

Do you have a larger version of the second photo you put up?  I'd like to be able to see the decorations better.

Cheers
Prue

The Freemasons Library and Museum will try to identify regalia from any fraternal society, not just the Masons.
