It's a fantastic resource - with images from the 1821 census, transcripts of death records and lots of additional notes made by Lisa into many of the South Ronaldsay families. Well worth a visit! Oman Budge was aged 44 in the 1821 census. As well as his wife and children, there was a Henry Budge ages 46 and a Margaret Budge aged 29 living in the household - this is presumably Oman's siblings.
