The heading for the collection states "England - United Grand Lodge of England Freemason Membership Registers  - 1751-1921"
Indeed - but not the title of this thread.  I mentioned above my ancestor, a member of the Mold lodge.  Wondering about my grandfather, I found he appears several times, mostly in Indian lodges.  Why India but not Wales?  Is it a separate 'authority'?

PS  -  having searched for family members (and found some) in Glamorgan, at least some of Wales is included.  However I know from on-line press cuttings of the period that Charles Liversidge was attached to the Mold lodge, and some of his daughters successfully applied for school expenses from the masons.

The Mold lodge also shows up with several Jones members, as one would expect.  Maybe Charles was not initiated?

My apologies Andrew, I was merely responding to the question posed by Grothenwell.   :-[
Transcriptions and NBI are merely finding aids.  They are NOT a substitute for original record entries.
Remember - "They'll be found when they want to be found" !!!
If you don't ask the question, you won't get an answer.

Thank you Bushlnn. I looked up a 2nd ggfather that I knew was a Mason, found him and his father and grandfather and another 2 ggfather, along with uncles and cousin going back to the late 1700s.

I haven't been on Ancestry for some time, so I am glad I checked here to find out what is new.

For some reason best known to the system, CKL's masonry record has become visible.  He was initiated in late 1874, about a year before he moved to Anglesey.

I have removed the word British, but it does not remove all references, if I could delete British from the thread altogether, I would.

Hello Matilda
I was told my 2 Gt. Grandfather was a Freemason and I found him in the Commercial Lodge at Leicester.
