Neville, I have had another look at the Seatons on the IGI. John Seaton married Margaret PATRICK on 31 December 1858 in Edinburgh. Their children were: John Patrick Seaton b. 17 May 1860 in Inveresk w. Musselburgh Margaret Seaton b. 1863 William b. 24 June 1865 all Inveresk. The records are extracted not submitted so you'll be ok there. Do you know how to find the children of a couple on the IGI Family Search? Sheila.
