I AM STILL LOOKING FOR THIS PERSON
Can anyone help to locate my missing Great Great Grandfather?
Been looking for him for years without success.
Here's what we know about him
William Torvil Patterson born 1858 in Sleswick Holstein Germany
parents are Petronilla (nee Larsen) and Parker Nilson Patterson
William married 22 Sept 1886 in Ararat Victoria Australia to Mrs Eliza Fry Jones (nee Poad).
Eliza was a widow with 4 children, her first husband John Hugh Jones died from an accident in 1884.
4 children were born to William and Eliza, the last daughter born 1896
Family rumour has it that William deserted Eliza
1890 there is record in the Ballarat Directory of Mrs E Patterson living in Wills St, Ballarat no mention of Mr Patterson.
Can anyone help find William?
Any information or leads would be very welcome as we have hit a brick wall with this.
I would dearly love to know what became of my great grandfather.
