Thanks for info to date, it might take some research to find out if there is a family connection.

If there is no family connection how did it come to be in my families possession ?
It seems it maybe of historical iterest to someone.

Australia / Mystery find
« on: Saturday 30 July 11 07:07 BST (UK)  »
Amoungst my grandparents belongings years ago I found a silver star ( called a jewel ) which was awarded to someone named Cotter.
As to my knowledge there is no Cotter in my family tree, so who is this mystery recipient ?

The engraving on the star reads;

Presented
as a token of respect
for past services
To P.G.T.Y. Cotter
by the brothers of the
Apollo and Hercules Lodge
of the ancient
independant order of
Odd Fellows
Morphett st. Adelaide
St Australia
Decr. 31st 1851

According to the Adelaide chapter of the Order of Odd Fellows they were not established until the 1870's and this star belongs to / came from the Manchester branch ( a Manchester Unity item IOOF ).

Any help identifing this person and finding a posible link would be appreciated.

Info update, it looks like John was born 01/01/ 1873, possibly still County Cork.
Maybe will help a little.
