Citation: Some of the information below is from in 'Rising from the Ashes' by Thomas McCarthy (page 28 / 29) published by Cork City Council in 2010.

I believe that Sir Malcolm Cotter Seton (Assistant Under Secretary at the India Office circa 1921) editor of Maria Edgeworth's works and author of
'The Transvaal Boers: a Historical Sketch'. Sir Malcolm had strong Cork connections , having been born at Buttevant and, after education at Repton and Oxford, married Frances Eveleen Bruce of Miltown Castle, Charleville. I also believe that Lady Seton was circa 1905-10 joint Honorary Secretary of The Irish Literary Society, London and the author of 'My Town Garden'.
