The Common Room / Identification of These Items
« on: Thursday 31 March 22 04:14 BST (UK)  »
Hi everyone,
the attached photos are of items found amongst my grandparents possessions.
The first is a small badge with the letters H.A.S.C.
My paternal grandparents where members of the Holdfast Bay Surf Life Saving Society and I'm wondering if it is connected to the club.
The second 2 images are of a roughly made badge/label, with the letters KOM, not sure of the metal its made from but I've had this in my possession since the 1970's, its never been cleaned and it has never tarnished. the mounts on the back are a mystery so I don't know how or what it was fixed to.
I've been told it may be some type of Lodge emblem.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards Martin

« on: Sunday 02 September 18 05:42 BST (UK)  »
Looking for any marriage info on a Michael Donovan (possibly born John Michael Donovan) to a Margaret Ford. Also marriage info on possible second marriage to a Kate surname unknown.
Oral history says Michael was a publican some where in Co. Cork. I have found record of a will of a Michael Donovan (died 26 Mar. 1906) with a wife named Kate, says he was a publican from Balmeen Co Cork.
My research shows somewhere in the Queenstown area.
