Ulsters Chosen Few
{1870~1879 known as the Hanovarians}
Warrant No. 111 was
first issued shortly after the formation of the Orange Institution in 1795 to a Lodge in
the Lisburn area. A duplicate of that warrant was issued by the Grand Orange Lodge in 1828
to a Lodge in the Cookstown area of Co Tyrone.
After the re-organisation of the Institution in 1846, a further duplicate of the
warrant was issued in around 1851/2 to John Clarke in the Newtownards area. John Clarke
remained the Master of LOL 111 until 1856 but unfortunately no information is available
regarding the other members. It is recorded in County Down reports of 1853 that the Lodge
started with 8 members
1891 - William
Beattie of James Street was the Master and they had 22 members
