My maternal grandfather was supposed to be a member of the Buffs.
He was JOHN CLULO b. 1st September 1874.
He worked as a lamplighter for Manchester Corporation for many years until 1916.
After that he had a loan from his brother William, and ran a chip shop, or supper bar as my mother preferred to call it  until at least 1939, at 428, Cheetham Hill Road, Manchester.
I have made previous queries with nil results.
Hope you can help.

Hi Kooky
I have tried finding a lodge that met in that road (although you could go to any lodge) in 1940 there were well ov 60 lodges in manchester. i doubt his province would hold anything anyway. Sorry
But what I would sugest, if he was a member of Grand Lodge of England to write to Grand Secretary.
Grand Secretary
Stuart Steele BSc (hons)
Grove House, Skipton Road, Harrogate, North Yorkshire HG1 4LA
They might have his records! If you are lucky you prob wont get a lot just some dates and if he obtained a higher degree.
Please let me know how you get on

Re James Bond - See earlier today.
I have attached a photo of him in his RAOB regalia. The bottom logo on the apron says "Order of Merit" whilst the small one at the top of the apron says " "K M O" not sure which is the correct order.
The jewel on the chain (Middle bottom) says RAOB
I believe the photo could have been taken in about 1917 & was taken by a photographer in Barry, South Wales. He lived in Barry or Cadoxton near Cardiff.
I also have a small wooden box containing a seal "B" with wax pieces & on the lid is the same logo as on the top of the apron "K M O" . Around the logo on the box is "Sir J Bond".
Hope you can shed some light on this ancestor.
Thanks for your help so far.
John

Hi John
Here is a bit for the minute
The Rhoto is him wearing his Knights regalia (K O M ) Knight order of Merit, 3rd degree of 4.
The large collar shows the letter S on the left .The S w this would mean at theould stand for Sitting Primo (nowdays Worthy Primo)
This would mean that month he was elected to run the lodge. (a bit like the chairman)
I am going to see if i can get the Jewels a bit clearer then report back

Hi,
What does it mean-Buffaloism? My Grandfather was one (either that or his Dad, both had the same forename). I never realised until I was rumaging through some old photos and found some kind of certificate!!!
Thanks.

Me too!
I recently came across a beautifully coloured certificate which must have been presented to my father, certifying that he had "been duly initiated into the mysteries of BUFFALOISM with all the ancient rites and ceremonies." on 27th March, 1937.
Arched at the top is "Royal Antediluvian Order of Buffaloes". Grand Middlesex Banner - an "Eclectic" Lodge No. 219. (I think this would be likely in the Tottenham Court Road area)
Lovely prints at the bottom of King John signing the Magtna Charta and Queen Elizaqbeth presenting Earl Essex the Banner & Motto of our Order.
What appears to be the motto is on scrolling like ribbon "In things Essential UNITY", "In things Doubtful LIBERTY", "and in all things CHARITY".
Also pictures of what would appear to be statues representing Europe, Asia, Africa and America.
Such a pity it's too large to scan but I would like to know more about what Buffaloism is.
Thanks
Mary
