Ah ok, thank you.

May I ask which archive you're using?

I'm mainly using FreeBMD to search, and obviously there are a few missing records as it's all being transcribed by volunteers.

Sorry to double post, however this is relevant to my original question.

I have been able to verify that Walter Johnston is the man in question, and as such the vital information is that he was born circa 1895 in Salford/Oldham. Would I be best contacting the Manchester lodge for information if he was a member?

I would have thought it seems a good chance. Or ask them if they know how you could find out?
Would be good if you let us know how you get on.
If you want anymore help in other searches just give a shout.

I can't imagine getting a reply soon, considering the time of year it is, but I've sent them an email asking whether they have records etc. I'll let you know how I get on.

Thanks for all the help Not only has it helped me with this, but it's also helped me get further back through the generations.

Flagging for status on this thread

Is it still unsolved or may we archive?

Unless otherwise advised this will be moved to archived section after 24 hours
