Notes - RE: Picture of Midgley Shackleton in a Coat.
I've studied the photograph with great interest and can confirm that the regalia shown is not Masonic. The style of dress and pose suggests late Victorian/early Edwardian when there were many Fraternal Orders who wore regalia. The letters "C.M." are intriguing and I cannot find reference to these letters in any of my documents on regalia of Fraternal Societies.
My suggestion is that it is the regalia of one of the many Fraternal Orders of the Temperance Movement. Perhaps Rachibites or Good Templars. The Rachibites still exist but sadly most other Fraternal Orders (Temperance or otherwise) have ceased to exist. E.g. Sons of the Phoenix, Free Gardeners, etc. If you can unravel the mystery, I'd love to know what it is.

The CM on his cuffs are also on his collar of office, if this is correct, then it is the RAOB (Royal Antediluvian Order of Buffaloes).
The CM would stand for City Minstrel, one of the officers of the Lodge. The order was founded in 1822, so this could be an old type collar, I have not seen one like this before. Sorry I cannot be of more help.
