Freemason records
« on: Thursday 02 August 18 17:25 BST (UK) »
Hello,

Today I found out my 3x great-grandad was a freemason. His name was James Westcott Harding, and he was initiated on the 1st of February 1882, passed on the 1st of March and raised on the 3rd of May. There's also some mention of certificates. The records on Ancestry say Royal Commemoration Lodge (a national body?) and something about Putney. Can anyone say what lodge/s he belonged to? I think he looks to have paid his fees up to 1909 that I can see, which makes sense as he died in 1910.

I'd appreciate any help!

Royal Commemoration is the Lodge he belonged to.

If you read the information on. the result page instead of opening the image, click wher it says Learn more, it will take you to Masonic Records, type in th Lodge name and you get this.
