Very interesting.....1891 was a bit before my Granfather's involvement with the Sheffield Druids but it just goes to show how complex the history of these Friendly Societies is......someone (with lots of time on their hands) needs to write a good book on them...... !
Many thanks for the posting,

Hi dfss
I have just found this website http://www.druidicdawn.org/node/1914 which give more info on the origin and subsequent role of the Druids, particulary in Sheffield, which was the largest of the lodges.
I remember when young that some of the earlier documents in my Grandfather's Northumberland Road offices were posted or written from Crewe and Northwich (one such dated 1844) which sort of fits with this potted history....at that time I was primarily interested in the Victorian stamps on them.....
