Perthshire / Re: Seaton's in Blair Atholl Perthshire 1800 and beyond
« on: Friday 21 August 20 13:24 BST (UK)  »
Hello

I, too, am actively researching my Seaton family and finding that Borenich is an excellent site.

I’m particularly interested in the Seatons who founded Seaton, Illinois. Sources say it was James Seaton (my four x great-uncle) or his son Daniel Seaton. Can anyone shed any light? I would be most grateful. Susan

Hello

You were right about not doing a paid search with TNA. I got their reply and it confirmed everything you said. Sadly it looks as if they were lost during the bombing in WW2.

Next on the agenda is to contact the museum and ask if they would be happy to accept his music book. I’d always intended to donate it but thought I would get his military records....If they do accept his book, who knows what may arise.

I think you are absolutely right. Ive always thought his records were destroyed in the Blitz. I think what I’ll do now is to email the Northumberland Fusiliers museum and ask if they would like his music book.

Now all that’s left is to try and work out who is in the photo.......

Heard from MoD Glasgow. No luck. They hold records up to 1919. They suggested I search National Archives.

Well, have had a look and didn’t know where to start so have emailed National Archives and requested a quote to research. I think it’s going to be too expensive. Will keep you updated.

Hello , Thank you for taking the time to reply.

May I ask a question? You refer to an album maybe not having the correct title. What album is this?

Regards

Susan

Hello Max many thanks for your response. William Hunter is my great-grandfather. Sheila is my cousin and posted photo and question.

Have sent to MoD, Glasgow, for his records. Nothing arrived yet.

I know his rank/regiment as I have a wonderful old music book ‘Unsere Haus Musik’ which is inscribed with rank/regiment and dated 11 November 1919, first Armistice, British Army on the Rhine. If I can get his records etc, I will contact the Northumbrian Fusiliers and ask if they would like the book.

I admit, I am worried that his records were destroyed during WWII.

Thanks again for your interest. Sheila and I are very grateful. As soon as we know more i’ll let you know.

No photo! First one I’ve ever posted and I couldn’t work out how to attach. Ended up posting by mistake! Have sent an SOS to Roots Chat
