He, a surveyor of Customs and Excise, married my relative Elizabeth Woodcock at Edinburgh in 1920. She was born at St Andrews and died there in 1971 aged 93.

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.

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.

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.
