Thanks for the advice about the article on William Lisbon’s trial for assault of Ann Seaton nee Flucker. I have obtained a copy which makes for interesting reading

Hi ADP,
  Unfortunately I cannot find a record of his death post-1855 so assume he died earlier.

Hi Tom,
  Was not aware there were Fluckers in Cockenzie/Prestonpans, my relatives were mainly fishermen and fishwives so could be related. The family legend is that the name is Flemish and they were shipbuilders who came across to build the Great Michael. David had children David, Seaton, Ann, Alexander and John all born between 1824 and 1836.

Midlothian / Which David Flucker (c1823 Leith North)
« on: Wednesday 09 July 08 22:58 BST (UK)  »
Hi, I have just started tracing my Flucker family tree which has been quite easy given the rare surname and the geographical tight location of Newhaven/Leith. However I have reached a block going back beyond the marriage of David Flucker and Henrietta Seaton at 7/11/1823. The OPR does not record the groom's parents and there are three OPR birth records for David Flucker's around the right age. Short of basing the choice of one from three on child naming patterns I am at a loss as how to proceed. Has anyone else traced back through this block? The LDS chooses one option but no provenance.
