I don't know anything about the parents of Edwin Beard Budding. My maiden name was Budding however, my grandfather was Henry Ernest Budding, a baptist minister, so moved around a bit. My brother has done some research and traced the family back to Edwin Beard Budding.

I would be very interested to know what information you have on him, and also why you are interested.

About 20 or so years ago I saw a 'Budding' lawnmower in a country house museum in either Devon or Cornwall.

Hope to hear from you.
