Do you have any census that might say where they were born or relative age? I dont see a Mary Beany or William Patterson/Pattison baptism in Penshaw from 1798-1839 , nor do I see any children of a William and Mary Patterson in Penshaw.

yes I have William Patterson (Blacksmith) born Felling Shore 1811 and wife Mary born Newbottle 1805-10.
They had children Johanna Patterson (1834-1884) and Alice Story Patterson (1838-1893).
But i'm having trouble getting william's parents (maybe George Patterson and Hannah Notman?) and his wife Mary's (maybe John Beaney and Johanna Robinson?)
