Hello possible cousins,
I have worked back to my great grandfathers parents and found there were several siblings and after tracing forward with each I am hoping that some of my X times removed cousins are tracing their history as well and would like to share their history.
George Seaton married Mary Coulter 26 Dec 1851 at Sandholes Pres church, Desertcrete parish. they died 1913 and 1923 respectively. both born c1825.
UPDATE:- After reading their entry in the 1911 Census for Ireland, apparently George was born 1822 in Co. Londonderry, and Mary was born 1832 in Co Tyrone. Mary had given birth to 12 live children, 7 of which were still alive at the time of the Census. They had been married for 63 years. So I may have the wrong marriage year. 1848 may be closer to the correct time. But the 2 offspring listed as still living at home give their ages as 30 and 28 years. This is app 10 years younger than I had thought.
Some of their sons listed Mary's maiden name as Trimble or Grimble. don't know why.
their children and grandchildren were as follows;
George b Mulnagore when 1855? need help.

In the Hartford Courant from 22 Dec. 1940:
Mary A. Seaton, widow of Matthew Seaton, died Saturday evening at her home, 128 Allen Place. She was born in Ireland and had lived here for 30 years. She was a member of St. James' Episcopal Church and of the Women's Auxiliary of the church. She leaves one son, George, and one daughter, Marjorie, both of Hartford. The funeral will be held at Taylor & Modeen, 233 Washington Street, at a time to be announced.
2 later announcements state that Mary's funeral was to be held Tuesday at 1:30 pm and she would be buried at Cedar Hill Cemetary.
Rebecca, single b1876 d1903
Eliza.... I know very little about her, she is mentioned in letters at the time (1902) I think found her in the 1901 Scottish Census. Married to Robert Lamont? with 3 sons and 3 daughters and brother in law Matthew Seaton living with them at the time. Their ages are hard to see on the census.
Eliza... may be older than George, I don't know this or if there was other children born in the first few years of the marriage. Rebecca appears to have been the last born.
I would love to be able to share extra information with you as well as fill in some gaps and possibly questions answered.
