Antrim / Re: 12th July and Orange Lodges - Help offered

fmni,

Thanks for clarifying everything. My husband may have thought the number was 101 but it seems more likely to be as you have stated 252. Memory isn't what it used to be  ::) I know it was definitely the Creve/Crieve Lodge, and they probably had connections with the Benagh Lodge as well.

Does Crieve LOL 252 still exist or is it defunct?

Yes, I did read the rider about the information on his site not being used for Family History purposes but then I saw the image with all those names and thought that it might be an untapped resource....ah well dreams are still free.

This will be something for me to put on my to-do list for our visit to Newry, hopefully in 2010/2011. My husband still has family in the area but they are hopeless when it comes to family history. They think I'm strange for wanting to know about all those dead people.  ;D :D

Hi fmni,

Found this thread through a Google search for "Orange Lodge"....hope you may be able to help me with a couple of questions.

1. Would you have any information on LOL Creve 101 near Newry Co.Down? My husband, who lived in Benagh until he was 12, was a junior member of this lodge and remembers carrying the flag in the parade.

2. Also as part of my general search for information I came across a web site that mentions that there are membership registers for 1893-2000 held by the Grand Oranage Lodge, Belfast. Do you know if these are available for the public to view or would you need to ask for permission?

There is an sample page to view at

I'm hoping that if I can access these membership records it will show other family members i.e. Grandfather, Great Grandfather etc.

Many thanks for the offer of help.

Cheers,
