I have bought some lovely Winsor & Newton paint markers but the ink keeps seepingvthrough my paper? Any recommendations? TIA

It might depend on your budget and purpose. Moleskine Sketch is usually good for markers but quite pricey. You need thicker paper 90lbs+.
Frisk Bristol board paper is good for drawing/painting.
Try different Frisk paper pads - cotton watercolour, for example. Not very keen on Yupo paper, as it takes ages to dry, changes colour and smudges easily.
Derwent watercolour paper works for inks, watercolours and markers.
If you like coloured paper, try Clairefontaine Paint Mix Media Grey Green or Denim Blue.
