About this image

Description There was some discussion at Keith Funnel's post of a James Ring photo of a member of the Loyal Orange Order a couple of years back and where there may have been lodges in the West Coast (Greymouth, Dunollie).
(see external link below)

This week a photo turned up of my Great Grandfather James William Barnett (1867-1941) as a member pf The Lodge of the Loyal Orange Institution, at Granity. I'd guess this was taken in the late 1910s to mid 1920s. This organization had a presence in New Zealand from the 1840s apparently, and seems to have really hit its stride in the 1900s-1910s.

The Orange Order was fairly specific being a social organization that was founded in Ireland for protestant men, but was also for Ulster Scots and British Unionists. It is still operating in some capacity in New Zealand today.Date of Photo1910`sMap^[1]External LinkFacebook photoContributorDarian Zam

Very popular with immigrants from Northern Ireland. Claimed to be anti Catholic but really a Loyalist organisation.

Marj Powell No names known. Was your grandfather in Granity? Which one do you think he is?

Nice! Thanks for all the work you do preserving this info to the website admins. It's a big job and words of praise are probably far and few between!
