He advertised himself as Bookbinder to the King from 1833 until the death of William IV in 1837 and adding bookselling to his binding activities. He married Grace Wilson 1818-1903 the daughter of a local merchant in 1841 in which year he also began to publish books as well as sell and bind them. By 1851 he was employing twenty men and women. But then in July 1854 at the age of forty-seven Robert Seton died. The business continued under his name presumably under the direction of his widow and with a certain residual momentum by now advertising for old books too until 1856. Then a decision was made and announced in the press that the goodwill and stock-in-trade were to be disposed of. at that point the business was reborn as Seton & Mackenzie� advertising under that name �a great variety of books in elegant bindings suitable for Christmas presents� in December 1856. Charles Mackenzie 1821-1882. Mackenzie was born in Dunfermline the son of Charles Mackenzie and his wife Elizabeth Webster. By 1851 he was in lodgings in Edinburgh described simply on the Census Return as a bookseller�s clerk � presumably to Robert Seton. And it was presumably he who along with the widow Grace Seton took over the reins after Seton�s death � they became partners in another sense in 1859 when they married. So there we have the identity of �Seton & Mackenzie�.
