You are posting in Resources which is for Resources... not queries!

Queries go under Ireland (Historical Counties)...

It's okay, Minnie, a moderator will fix it for you  :)

Belfast queries actually go under ANTRIM not IRELAND  ;)

No harm done but more likely to get a response there!

The moderators here are all busy people who volunteer their services so you need be patient and give them a chance to deal with reports. It's really not a good idea to repost as you've now two threads for the same subject.

You've posted the new query in IRELAND rather than the ANTRIM board which deals with Belfast queries.

from their website it would appear that Robert (Bob) Bashford is the man you might wish to contact if you have not already spoken directly with the Irish Freemasons.

This post is a natural hand made product. The slight variations in spelling and grammar enhance its individual character and beauty and in no way are to be considered flaws. Unfortunately my preferred method of writing (Parker Quink on Basildon Bond) cannot be used.
