Our family always surmised it was a connection to the Orange movement that resulted in two relatives having their given names as "Orange": Orange Hagan Boak (1867-1947) and Orange Elmer Emery (1855-1945). --Sandy -----Original Message----- From: "ECardwell via CoTyroneList" [[email protected]] Date: 02/21/2021 10:08 AM To: "Pat Hocker via CoTyroneList" <[email protected]> CC: "Pat Hocker" <[email protected]>, "ECardwell" <[email protected]> Subject: [CoTyroneMailingList] Re: New Content - Masonic Lodge No 633, eland; List of Members 1784-1832
PatIt might be worthwhile contacting the museum of orange heritage in Belfast at www.orangeheritage.co.uk They are closed at the minute though. I don't know if they hold historic records, but they should be able to provide some guidance. It's disappointing that the Orange Lodge in Durham wasn't in a position to release basic records from 150 years ago, difficult to see what the privacy issues would be so long ago. Personally I'd ask them again, or contact their 'umbrella' body in Canada. I'm sure lots of historians would appreciate access to some at least of those early records.

I’m guessing he was also a member in Omagh, Tyrone before emigrating to Canada. I wrote to the Order in Ontario some years ago, asking if they had any information about him and received a very curt reply,indicating that they didn’t divulge anything about their membership. I wonder if there are any lists or other information from Omagh, pre-1840? Thank you. Pat On Feb 19, 2021, at 10:46 PM, Len Swindley via CoTyroneList <[email protected]> wrote: Thanks Jim. This file is interesting as Lodge 633 commenced in Ballymagorry, Co. Tyrone, but was withdrawn as the result of a “scandal” (as described to me by the archivist at the Freemasons’ Hall in Dublin) and a warrant was issued to a lodge to meet in in the townland of Killymallaght just across the county boundary in Co. Londonderry. (Several members of this lodge were draw from townland families). This lodge was later located to Derry City.
