Well, I guess this closes this Forum, thanks to David for the new documentations, unless, of course, some one has found some additional documents, we must now assume that the Liverpool clerck made an error in the transcripion into the Register, or I did an error in hand-copying the data from the Register (?). It is still possible that the vessel was ordered to be named Bridget, but then was registered as Budget, probably when the buyer was presented the final bill. Ha! Ha! He must have had a great sense of Humour, if this was the case. Thanks to everyone for your imput, which was a real great show. Meanwhile several members got busy finding newspapers entries for this vessels, which add up to the files, both for me, for Edie and his Lady-friend. Best to everyone and good wishes for your personal research.
