My 3rd great grandparents Robert Pattinson and Isabella, nee Emmerson can be found in Fatfield, Durham in 1841:
Robt Pattison 30
Isabella Pattison 26
Jno Pattison 8
Emmerson Pattison 2
Ann Pattison 9 Mo
Then in 1851 they are at Fatfield:
Robert Pattinson 40
Isabella Pattinson 36
John Pattinson 18
Emmerson Pattinson 12
Ann Pattinson 10
Robert Pattinson 6
Sarah Pattinson 8
Francis Pattinson 4
Richard Pattinson 2
John Pattinson 37 (brother)
Then there is this family in 1851 who I believe may be Robert’s parents (they are on the following page of the census in Fatfield):
John Pattison, 62, head
Ellen Pattison, 60, wife
Mary Pattison, 29, daughter
Joseph Pattison, 18, son
Margret Pattison, 1, grand daughter
On the same page are who I believe are Isabella’s (wife of Robert) parents:
John Emmerson, 63, Head
Ann Emmerson, 64, Wife
I can’t find John or Ellen Pattinson/Pattison or any of the family members that appear in 1851 in 1861 or further. In 1841, they have another son, George b 1828 and a daughter, Margaret b 1816 with them. Admittedly, John and Ellen may have died by 1861.
Can anyone help try and sort these families out? John and Ann Emmerson, I am sure, are Isabella’s parents as I have her baptism in 1814 in Washington, Durham. Robert’s parents, I am not so sure of. I am particulary interested in finding out the parents and any other siblings of Robert Pattinson, born abt 1811.
