Was he a freemason?
« on: Tuesday 06 May 08 09:31 BST (UK) »
I'm hoping to find out if an ancestor - alive late 1700s early 1800s - was a freemason. Any suggestions as to how to go about this would be most welcome.

Hello Annie,

My grandfather was a Freemason. I have his membership card and sent details to the Archivist of the Grand Masonic Lodge of Ireland to ask for more information. I was given
a lot of assistance by the Archivist. I hope you are successful in finding more information about your ancestor.

if your relative was a freemason often they had a mark on their gravestone to indicate this, it would not be an obvious mark but a small 'engraving'
