Buddo Family History

[NZGrant]

Thankyou for all this.  It's great to have colour in the family history!  I missed David snr and Euphemia in the 1851 census because David's age is shown as 40 when he was actually 50, so I didn't look at the copy of the census paper on ScotlandsPeople.  A couple of photos from the house attached, with the one of the poster taken by our son who visited St Andrews last week.

I am descended from Thomas Buddo's daughter Christian and Robertsons following. Old Tom Morris is also a descendant. Many relatives live here in Australia. I was born close to St Andrews, Fife at Ferry-Port-on-Craig.

That's interesting.  We hadn't come across any Buddo descendents in Australia until now.  Which Thomas Buddo was that?

The most likely looks to be the one born 8/5/1709 (Buntisland), died 9/6/1780, married Margaret Gourlay/Gourley June 1740 St Andrews & St Leonard, weaver, 2nd child Christian born 26/2/1744.  7th child also Thomas b 2/11/1755, d 24/4/1815?, weaver, m Margaret Thomson, no child named Christian but oldest child Thomas b 16/8/1778 m Agnes Wiseman, child Thomas b 4/2/1816, m Isabella Budell?, child Julia b ~1849.

If this line, I don't have any information on Christian other than a birth date, so anything you can contribute would be welcolme.

It goes much earlier than that. My great9grandmother Christian Buddo married John Robertson at St Andrews in 1642. The reputedly first professional golfer Allan Robertson (1815-1859) is a great4grandson of Christian Buddo as also is his apprentice Tom Morris (1821-1908) who designed the Old Course. A brother David Robertson (1824-1864) of Allan Robertson left children in Sydney AUS. Other branches of the family migrated to Deniliquin NSW and Bendigo [Sandhust] VIC in the nineteenth century.

Wow, that's really going back.  I don't have much on the early Thomas Buddo other than what is in the golfing history.  There was a Thomas Buddo resident in St Andrews in 1590 who is probably the same man.  There were a few other Buddos around that time that I don't know the relationships:
Effam Buddo d 1599, m James Lowrie
Johnne Buddo d 1603, occupation tailor

About the time of your Christian, there a few Buddos who could have been siblings:
- Andro Buddo m Margrat Williamsone, children Christian (1641 - )
- Andro Buddo m Margret Crombie/Crummie, children Andro (1650 - ), Isobel (1653 - ), Margret (1656 - )
Note that this could be the same Andro who remarried.

- Thomas Buddo m Marget Kynninnmonth, children William (29/5/1653 - ), Andro (30/3/1656 - ), Jenat (26/10/1658 - ), Eupram (26/10/1658 - ), Jenat (4/2/1664 - )

- John Buddo m Margret Balfour 22/11/1653, children Andro (11/5/1658 - ), Elspeth (26/10/1661 - ), Robert (22/9/1664 - ).

Coincidently, my great great grandfather (John Pearson) came out from Cambridgeshire to the Bendigo diggings in 1858 and then followed the gold rush across to Lawrence, New Zealand.  My great grandfather, also John Pearson was born in Eagle Hawk, Sandhurst Vic in 1862.

Hello:

I am researching my Grandmother's side (Henderson) and have a connection to the Buddo's.  William Henderson my 2nd Great grandfather married a Jean Buddo of St. Andrews in 1912.  My 3rd Great Grandfather married a Isabella Buddo in St. Andrews on Sep 24 1815.  Isabella is the daughter of James Buddo and Margaret Brown.  According to my research they had seven children, Isabella, John, Margaret, William, Andrew, Jean and Elisabeth.  Do we have a connection here by chance?

[Duncraig]

Well, well. A sister Elizabeth of your Isabella Buddo married my first cousin six removed David Crichton at St Andrews in 1814. David's mother Margaret Woodcock was sister of my fifth great-grandmother Janet Woodcock, wife of St Andrews Town Sergeant John Robertson, himself a descendant of Christian Buddo.

There will be a link to my wifes Buddo line, but back in the 17th C. where records are pretty limited. 

I don't have anything on the Jean Buddo who married William Henderson so would be interested in more information.  With regard to Elizabeth and Isabella, what I have is partly from Chrighton family tree records plus some verification from official records. I've got James and Margaret having 8 or 9 children with Robert probable and Thomas possible.  Hopefully fills some gaps.  Any errors, let me know.
