Hi you might need to remove some of these names as they are most probably still living
We are not allowed to do look ups on living people

You should be able to find out something about them using freebmd and the GRO index.  As Rosie says you need to remove the names of the children from your post

Seaforth 1939 are you on Ancestry?
There is a well researched family tree on there which has lots of information on William Beaton and Robina McLean which ties in with what you have. Also, a photo of them.

You could contact the tree owner to see if they could help you if not I would do this for you.

You are only given 24 hrs to do it so time is short. 

If you look at your first post it should say Modify in the top right corner, just select it then you can alter it and save it as normal

I've edited it for you. 

Parents names left in as they are deceased William died in 1977 in Hereford, and Robina Mary  in 1995.

You can search for marriages of their children in Hereford here:

Social media can be a good way of locating living relatives.
