My husband's grandfather was from the second wife.

Rowe's (husband) father gave him a written family tree.  This is what we have:

Henry Seymour married Martha (nee Gibson), Antrim Ireland;  James Seymour (Rev) of Groggan Antrim Ireland 15th October 1792 married Eliza (nee Milliken);  James Cooke Seymour (Rev) or Portylenone Antrim Ireland 20th April 1839 married Eliza Rebecca (nee Lyons); Rowe Milliken Seymour (Rev) Northport Ontario Canada 14th June 1890 (?) married Phoebe Matilda Walker; Rowe Milliken Seymour (husband's father) Toronto Ontario Canada 17th May 1913 married Florence Grace Baker; Rowe Milliken Robert Seymour (husband) Sudbury Ontario Canada 20th February 1941 married me (Morag Lamont).  How does this tie in with your records?  We are both excited now - after years of trying to find information yours turned up when we were not really looking.

Thanks for filling in the details of the boating accident.  I am married to the grandson of Rev Rowe Seymour.  The Rev's surviving son (also Rowe) was involved in the boating accident, as was his sister Alice.  Rowe Jnr remembered the accident - told my husband that Rev Rowe tried to save them all but only managed to save his son.  We have the Rev's bible from that time and know that it shook his faith to the core - he has written  all the  passages relating to keeping the faith in the face of loss on the back page.  The Rev Rowe later remarried and had a daughter, however, there was a falling out between the Rev and his son that was never resolved so my husband grew up not knowing any family other than his parents.
