I AM researching the Budden family of Christchurch and would be very grateful if any member of the Budden family still living locally could get in touch with me.

I am particularly interested in the houses in Mill Road, Christchurch, that were bequeathed by Tom Budden and Lizzie Budden in the late 1920s, early 1930s.

If anyone has any information on the Budden family from the early part of the 20th century, especially if they have any photographs of family members, I would be very interested to hear from them.
