Peter, There is one aspect of possible interest to both mining and familily historians relating to membership of "Lodges". Here in New South Wales I have come across references to holding positions in lodges e.g. Vice President of the Loyal Cadia Lodge" but have ben unable to obtain further information. I believe it may relate to the Manchester Unity I.O.O.F. being a benefit rather than fraternal organisation, but the local office has been unable to assist.. Details of membership by miners of the Freemasons and benefit Lodges both in the U.K. and overseas would be appreciated.
