Hi Simon
Nice to see you on this site.
It is a while since we exchanged BUDGE data.

Watten Parish Registers: Alexander son of John - 16 Feb 1734 " John Budge in Houstrydoun and Janet Bain his spouse had a child baptised named Alexander. Witnesses Patrick Sutherland in Southdun and George Geddes in Northdun"

I have received data from a contact showing John & Janet m 1728 line which shows Alex b 1734 Watten as marrying Margaret Sutherland c 1773 .... I am not sure of the confirmation of this.

I have a Alex B & Marg S in Latheron - children at least Alex b 1788! according to son Alex's death 1869. Alex b 1788 m 1821 Margaret Couper.
There appears to be 2 Alex Budge in Latheron parish around same time or Alex b 1734 married x 2. Perhaps someone here has the answers.
