South Africa / Searching for Freemason's in South Africa
« on: Tuesday 04 July 06 12:39 BST (UK) »
Hello All!
Does anybody have any suggestions as to how I would go about getting in contact with Freemasons in South Africa.
My great great grandfather, Thomas William Solomon Brown owned the Masonic Hotel in Worcester during the late 1800s. Before he set sail on the Titanic in 1912, he sold this hotel to a Mr Jim/James Carroll who bought it for GBP12,000.
Many of the notes I possess regarding TWS Brown point to him being a prominant freemason around this area, and I was wondering if/how I could contact this organisation for further information - or even the Masonic Hotel in Worcester, on the off chance that they still have some documents regarding him.
At this stage I have no information regarding his family (parents/ancestors) and I am attempting to research other areas (hence this new topic) to find more about the man, in the chance that further family information may pop up.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
