Yes.... it's all very tantalizing. Someone could do more chasing up than I
have so far been able to do. Definitely though, the GD utilised both Birch
and Budge's work and probably would have known them both as well - Birch
just before the GD was officially formed and Birch definitely during and
after.

indeed WB was a major staff member at the British Musuem, in who's reading
room many of the GD folk (especially Mathers) spent a lot of time- Caroline
Tully on this list (who's probably asleep in Australia at this moment) will
be
able to comment further on that
there were some dark rumours that WB was even a GD member, but i don't know
if
they ever had any academic support from researches
