looking for information on loyal orange lodge in Workington in 2oth century
« on: Thursday 05 June 08 21:50 BST (UK) »
I'm looking for information about the Loyal Orange Lodge in Cumberland in the first half of the 20th century. If anyone has any information I'd be really interested.

I'm particularly interested in any activity in the Carlisle, Workington, Whitehaven and Frizington areas and in Lodge 134. If anyone knows about this please could they contact me.

Margaret Jones nee Richardson was a member and brethren of the loyal orange lodge acted as bearers at her funeral on 28/07/1949 at Harrington Rd cemetery; grand master,Brother T Clague gave the sermon. If anyone knows how I could access the records of tis time I'd love to know.

Thanks

loyal orange lodge activity in Workington

Still looking for info about Orange Order in Workington.

I haven't found anyone with memories/details of the Orange Lodge in Workington in the 1920s  and 30s. I've posted here on roots chat, on ancestry, on the Whitehaven News forum, and on Cumberland Family History.

Any ideas for further queries?

thanks

There is a book by Donald MacRaild called 'Culture, Conflict and Migration - the Irish in Victorian Cumbria' which has a chapter on the Orange lodges although it may cover an earlier period than you are interested in.  I have a copy of the book and can look anything up in the book for you, the Orange lodges still exist in Cumbria and may have some records.

Steffi,
I grew up in Workington in an area Known as the 'Marsh', I would often go to sleep listening to the pipes and drums on 'King Billys' night.
There were many stalwarts of the order in the area, some grew Orange lillys in their back yards.

This was in the early 50s, Later  the focus of the Order seemed to be the 'Union Jack' club, which relocated to the old Imperial Hotel, Senhouse St Workington. phone 01900604532
