Title
Cash Account Book
Date
Jun 1846-Dec 1933
Description
At front: 'A list of benefit members, and the year of entrance' and 'Honorary Members', both lists appear to have been compiled in the late 1840s or early 1850s, and include details of members who joined as early as 1789. As both lists presumably relate to individuals who were still members at the time the list was compiled, and is not a complete list of all members since 1789. Each list includes some updates to at least 1862. The accounts themselves include monthly contributions as well as payments, so it ought to be possible to compile a more complete list of members during the period of the accounts.
Also including a circular letter sent by DMUOOF to individual lodges, this letter having been received by No. 16 Prosperity Lodge, 1933
