Title: William Richardson Apollo University Lodge, Freemasons Oxford 1819
Post by: Jeffrey on Thursday 09 July 20 10:07 BST (UK)

I have found this entry in the England, United Grand Lodge of England Freemason Membership Registers, 1751-1921

It looks like this was set up in 1819. I am wondering if there is any more information on any of the members. Below is who I believe may be my Ancestor.

Name:   William Richardson
Gender:   Male
Initiation Age:   23
Birth Year:   abt 1796
Initiation Date:   5 May 1819
First Payment Year on Register:   1819
Year Range:   1813-1836
Profession:   Esquire
Lodge:   Apollo University Lodge
Lodge Location:   Oxford
Folio Number:   223
A Lodge Number:   711A
B Lodge Number:   460B

Any Ideas anyone?

Thank you
Judy

Wikipedia has a long list of notable members and states that a full list is held by the Bodleian Library if that is what you are looking for.

Thank you for the reply & information.

I was wondering if there was any more information to be had from the Apollo University Lodge records that that which I already have.

Maybe have to email the Bodleian Library and ask.
