UGLE 1st GM:
1813-43 HRH Augustus Frederick, Duke of Sussex
(brother of Antient GM, Edward, Duke of Kent)
Nigel Gallimore, PM/UGLE & GLCalif/USA
Bro. Goldwyn - I forgot to mention - the Atholl (Antients) GL was formed in 1751. So the dual dates are 1751-1813 and not 1740.
Nigel Gallimore
Bros Lee & Goldwyn
Another brother has mentioned to you on this forum the UGLE Year Book. A book I would recommend that contains a list of every GM and other chronological notable dates of events on Masonry in England is: "The History of English Freemasonry" by John Hamill. Publishers are Lewis Masonic. 1994. ISBN 085318 205
1. It is also available on CDs. The author John Hamill is now the Communications Director of UGLE but back then was the Librarian & Curator for UGLE.

Bro. Lee
I have had more time to look at your list. None of the names were GM of the Atholl "Antients" GL. Here are some corrections if you will permit me:
Premier Grand Lodge: (a.k.a "Moderns" - but is not preferred by UGLE!)
1727-28 Henry, 3rd Ld. Coleraine - your record only says 1728
1729 James, 4th Ld. Kingston - your record says 1728
1730-31 Thomas, 8th Dk. of Norfolk - your record says 1729-30
1738 Henry, Marquess of Carnarvon (later 2nd Duke of Chandos) – your record says 9th
1740 John, 3rd El. of Kintmore - your record says 4th
1745-47 James, 6th Ld. Cranstoun - your record only says 1745-46
1747-51 Wm., 5th Ld. Byron - your record says 1747-52
1754-56 James, Marquess of Carnarvon (later 3rd Duke of Chandos) - your record says '54-'57
1757-62 Sholto Charles, 15th El. of Morton - your record says 1757-61
1762-64 Washington, 5th El. Ferrers - your record says 6th and 1762-63
1767-72 Henry, 5th Dk. of Beaufort - your record says 4th and 1767-71
1777-82 Geo., 4th Dk. of Manchester - your record says 1777-81
1790-1813 HRH Geo., PoW, (later King Geo. IV) - your 2nd record says 1792
United Grand Lodge:
1874-91 HRH Al. Ed., PoW, (later King Ed. VII) - your record says Ed. VII of UK (he resigned as GM when he became King in 1901 and then took the title "Protector of the Order"
Hope this clarifies matters.
As a matter of interest the present GM of UGLE, HRH Ed. Dk. of Kent, on June 27, 2007, will have completed 40 years unbroken service as MWGM - he was elected on June 14, 1967 and installed on June 27, 1967. His father was GM 193-42. The previous longest serving GM of UGLE was HRH Arthur, Dk. of Connaught & Strathearn, 1901-1939, resigned nearly 39 years after election and died Jan. 16, 1942. He was the blood brother of HRH King Ed. VII (eldest son of HRH Queen Victoria).
Respectfully submitted, Nigel Gallimore
Last record on my list under United GL: date should say "1874-1901" and not 1874-91.
In the last para. of my message - it should say "He was GM 1939-42" and not 193-42.

Dear Bro Lee,
Hope this proves to be of some help!

Bro. Lee
The book "Grand Lodge 1717-1965" was I believe produced for the 250th celebratory anniversary of the UGLE.
Arthur Reginald Hewitt (1907-2005) was Librarian & Curator for UGLE from 1961-1972 when he retired. He became a full member of Quatuor Lodge No. 2076 in 1961 and was WM in 1965 and then became Treasurer for many years. At the time of his death he was a Honorary Member of QC Lodge. It is the library and museum of UGLE that will be his major masonic monument. He will rank next to Sadler who was responsible for establishing it.
And now I have not been able to find this book for sale.

Br. Batson, a member of No. 4, had been Deputy Grand Master from 1731 to 1734.
