It looks like Carrigans has come to answer steffi's pleas!

Many of South Watt Street's buildings have been demolished leaving empty spaces ... there is at least one club remaining http://tinyurl.com/39wdmkf

Thank you very much for your help -I thought I'd come to a full stop on this!

My ancestor - Andrew Clark - came to Maryport about 1874 and I believe that he was a member of an Orange Lodge.  Are there any lists of Lodges and/or Members names?

I do not have much more information about the Women's Loyal Orange Lodge No. 134 in Workington. I do not have access to complete records about the Workington lodges, however LOL 134 was formed sometime between 1919 and 1924 and appeared to be in continual existance until 2003. The name Jones or Richardson does not appear among the limited number of the names of the Mistress of the lodge that I have.

My grandfather was a member of the orange lodge in Workington, not sure of the dates, but I would guess it would be late 1880s or 1890s. Any information would be helpfull, as I am just starting off on this quest. I have no more information myself, the only thing I do have is his sash, which was given to me by my late mother.

Hi ....What was the surname of your grandfather and what is the lodge number (or lodge name) on the sash? 

[Bobshop]

Hi, thank you for your message. My grandfathers name was Joe Bishop.  I have his sash, but can't find a number or lodge name. The only word I can  make out is enniskilen.

Hi
I have partial records for the lodges in Workington for the early years of the 1900's. I have looked through these but have not found any reference to your grandfather's name.  Sorry that I do not have a positive result.
