Found this The name Buddy is of English origin, and means friend. The table below indicates the number of times the name Buddy has been given to baby boys in recent years. The last 125 years refers to 1880 through 2004; last year refers to 2004. The rank and count values are based on U.S. Social Security Administration counts for the one thousand most popular names given to baby boys in each of these years. Marion

Hi All Buddys surname was Bartlet or Bartlett, I did think she was nick named Buddy because she seemed to know so many people I think her husband was Harry, I am trying to find out where she was buried we think it in Upminster but seeing as we not know her first name I thought by asking on here it might help as I going to have a look round Corbit Tey Cemitery
