Sarah Seton, grandmother of William Lane Marley, was a direct descendant of the family of Sarah Seton, the famous lady-in-waiting to Mary Queen of Scots.  Detailed Seton family details here.

The first six children of Dr. Miles PJW Marley died in infancy or childhood. The three surviving sons became doctors.  Miles and Mary Marley lived at Piccadilly, then Westminster, then Bayswater, London. He had a strong interest in children's diseases, education and welfare. He was a friend of Charles Dickens, who used the name "Marley" in "A Christmas Carol" with Jacob Marley, and the ghost of Marley.

Dr. Henry F. Marley lived at Padsow, Cornwall, at The Nook, now called The Dower House of Prideaux Place. Henry and Marian Marley had eight daughters.

Dr. William L. Marley also lived at Padstow, Cornwall. He migrated to Australia as a surgeon on board a passenger ship after the death of his wife and infant. On board were Cornish tin miners bound for newly-discovered alluvial tin at Stanthorpe, Queensland. He accompanied them there. He married Edith Isabel Foxton in 1876. He worked as a surgeon at Stanthorpe Hospital and in private practice. He was also the Government Medical Officer, and Surgeon in the Police Force.  He died in 1888 in Port Douglas, Queensland. In 1883, he wrote to his wife from Port Douglas, believing he had a short time to live.

Miss Viva Marley's house is in High Street, Stanthorpe. (at right)

Dr. Richard B. Marley practised with his father in London before going to Bromyard and Hereford then back to London, where he practised at Trafalgar Road. He also died in 1888.
