I too am looking at some of the Budge families. Particularly Henry Budge who married barbara Andrew. She came from Watten

I did not find a marriage but found the following children:

William - born 1786 at Bower
Agnes - 17/2/1790 at Bower
Elizabeth - 29/1/1792 at Bower
Catherine and Helen - 15/3/1794 at Bower
Jean - 17/5/1797 at Watten, also has the entry at Bower.

My family is also Budge , descended from James Budge who was the farmer at Inkstack Dunnet in the 1841 census.

I have a Margaret Budge who married into the Macpherson family that I am researching. My James McPherson (b. 1829) married Margaret Budge - both from Lybster (Latheron parish) - on 15 May 1857. Margaret was the daughter of Alexander Budge and Margaret Couper and was christianed on 4 October 1829 in Occumster.

[Angela]

I'm researching this family, if I've got it right they're related to me by marriage - one of the family married my aunt and was also my godfather. He is my only starting point, but is sadly no longer alive - hence my slight doubt that I've found the right family! :confused

Elizabeth (Lizzie) Budge m. John Bruce at Achalone, 1898. He was a quarry engine driver from Spittal, though he'd been born at Watten. Witnesses were Alexander Budge and Jane Bruce.

Her parents were Alexander Budge, farmer, from Achalone, and Isabella Sinclair (m. Halkirk, 1875. Witnesses: Robert Bain and Alexander Sinclair.)

His parents were Henry Bruce, flagstone labourer, and Jamesina/Jemima Sutherland, (m. Watten, 1862. Witnesses: John Bruce and Johan Geddes.)

John and Lizzie had several children born between 1899 and 1911, including Henry, Isabella, Jamesina, Alexander who died in infancy, John, William, Elizabeth and another Alexander.

John died in 1952, Lizzie in 1954, both at Spittal.

I would really welcome any help and info .....thanks!:)

Hallo Ziljin,

Our Budges dont seem to match - mine come from the Latheron area.

Good luck when you visit Dunnet, I hope you make many contacts.

It's a beautiful part of the county - but windy, so take something warm to wear.

Fiona,
JAmes Budge and Violet Manson are my direct line. Their son JAmes married Isabel Swanson. Their son James married Margaret Robson . James and MArgaret moved to Bigton Farm Shetland in 1855 , where I was born. JAmes and MArgaret were my great great grandparents. I have just looked at the OPR for children born to David and Katharine and see that James Budge and Isobel Swanson feature as frequent witnesses.

If you are related I would love to hear from you. I have almost completed a history of the Budge family from 1699 to present. I can see that I am going to have to add some more pages - how exciting.

Hi Rosemary
I think we have coresponded before way back in 2003. At that time I hadn't done as much work on my 'Family'. I have 2 James Budges as 4th G Grandparents so thats an awful lot of Budges to sort out lol. Catherine Budge 1781-1859 married David Sutherland. On her DC it states James Budge & Violet Manson as her parents. Catherine & David's son James married Margaret Budge and her parents were James Budge & Margaret Calder.
You can mail me direct at fandgandersonATaol.com if you would like to swap info

Father John Budge, mother Kaithrin Polson. Married 24.6.1733. John lived at North Dunn and Kaithrin came from Clayag. Henry was born at North Dunn. The Parish register records at Watten starts about 1714, not early enought for JOhn and Kaithrin's briths to be registered.
