Buddo Family History

[FIFE]

Hi NZGrant - No I don't think I do have a copy of John Buddo's will but I will check. He was about 82 when he died. I don't think he had any children, although he had two unmarried nieces living with him, Margaret (b 1836) and Caroline (b 1840).

When his estate was disposed of in 1871 it mentioned 'heirs'.

John Buddo had rented Kinburn House to Major Boothby for several years.
John Paterson was the purchaser. Kinburn House was originally a double bay villa and Paterson renovated it. John Buddo's  residence at Golf Place didn't sell immediately.

The other property owned by John Buddo was at Pilmour Place. David Buddo snr had lived at Pilmour Place in the mid 1850s . It was around this time that all David Buddo snrs belongings including clocks, bookshelves, tables, paintings, barometer, sofa, chairs, linen, curtains, beds, mattresses, bolsters, pillows, dressers, carpets, kitchen utensils, - everything - was sold by auction in the 1857. Something must have happened in 1856-1857, I will see if I can find out what it was.

Good to see that David Buddo jnr did well in New Zealand. Would be nice to think his mother was very proud and that they stayed in touch.

Thanks FIFE.  Any help would be appreciated.  It is a puzzle that David Buddo snr was credited with building Kinburn House but John Buddo owned it at a later date.  I wonder if John Buddo financed the house and David was just given the task of organising its construction.  I guess the title to the house might answer that question.  Are land/building titles in the public domain in Scotland?

Hi all

As a 'local', I thought I'd chip in with my tuppenceworth 

NLS (the National Library of Scotland) has town plans available to view and take screen prints from but there's Copyright permissions to be overcome before posting images here - Screen prints may be made of these maps for non-commercial educational and private purposes. Written permission must be obtained in advance to reproduce any digital material from the Library's collections, whether in hard copy or electronic forms. There a lots of old maps available to view, but here is the link to a Town Plan for St Andrews from 1854 - http://maps.nls.uk/townplans/st-andrews_1.html. The map is in four sheets and if you click on the bottom right corner and enlarge it, you will see "Shore Bridge" and a "Timber Yard" (possibly "Gibson's Saw Mill" that Harry referred to in his post) on the road that leads along to the harbour.

Abbey cottage is still there to this day at what is the southern end of Abbey Walk. If my recollection is still good, I believe it was once the Gas Works manager's house.  Just out of picture (unfortunately) is Woodburn. It is a street, on the south side of the Kinness Burn that leads towards the beach (East Sands), the old lifeboat house (now the St Andrews Sailing Club) and the University Estates Department Office and Workshop (formerly the Woodburn Laundry).

There was a lad in my class at school called George Buddo, who was living in Colchester, Essex in 1998, and I believe an elderly relation of his still lives in the first house on the right at the east end of Lamond Drive.

Hope this helps

Regards

Thomas Buddo is my wife's 10th Gt Grandfather - I can't get any descendants though other than through the Robertson line, and wondered if anyone here might guide me to other Buddo descendants?  My wife is from the Innes family from the NE of Scotland, with her link into this connection via marriage between John Innes and Elspet Thompson. Any info much appreciated.
