Patterson, William shown on 1851 census Bishopwearmouth with wife Mary and three sons, Francis b.1843 approx, John b. 1844 approx. and Hugh b.1851. All born in Scotland apart from baby Hugh born in Bishopwearmouth to mother Mary Mackie. I cannot find out what happened to William, Mary, Francis or Hugh. William was allegedly a foreman at Mr. Ray's foundry.
I know all about John, born approx. 1842 (perhaps Aberdeen) who married Mary Jane Ibbitson in Sunderland 1861. They had more than 5 children on 1891 census. Mary Jane died 1898 and John remarried Annie Hewitt in 1900 at Sunderland, emigrating to Fernie, British Columbia after birth of their joint son Norman. They returned to Sunderland about 1923 and John died 1935 South Hetton, Haswell, Sunderland. I don't know when Annie died.
Help wanted to find William and Mary Patterson (the parents) and Francis and Hugh Patterson (two of the three children).

Looking at the 1851 census you mention, William a Labourer born about 1821, Mary born about 1823, John & Francis present but not Hugh.

I think this maybe Hugh

Hugh is indeed there, he's at the top of the next page. FS transcription is incorrect.

Hugh is in the census in Thornaby, Yorkshire with wife Susanna Atchinson, who he married in 1869
1871 - RG10/4901/13/20 - Hugh Patterson 20 b Sunderland
1881 - RG11/4863/10/13 - Hugh Patterson 28 b Sunderland
1891 - RG12/4020/6/6 (on the street where my Dad was born) - Hugh Patterson 40 b Sunderland
1901 - RG13/4588/47/36 - Hugh Pattison 50 born Scotland
By 1911 he's moved across the river to Stockton, Durham, claiming to have been born Aberdeen. Surname is again Pattison. He died in 1928 (as Hugh Patterson).
There is also a military attestation for what is probably him in September 1878 aged 24 years & 11 months, service number 1750. Joined at Sunderland but claims to have been born Stockton. Discharged 1879 as unfit for further service.

This looks like the same family in 1871, still at Wellington Lane, although William Sr's PoB is Sunderland and he's shown as married but with no wife present: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:VBZV-CXH
The William who died in 1872 as suggested by Neale is shown on the free index on Durham Records Online with an address of Ayres Quay. This map shows Ayres Quay Foundry on Wellington Lane, leading up to Ayres Quay and the Ayres Quay Bottle Works: https://maps.nls.uk/view/120934737#zoom=5&lat=10378&lon=6652&layers=BT

In 1861 William is listed as a widower, so wife Mary likely died between 1851 and 61; maybe associated with birth of Thomas.
Then in 1871 William is listed as married. ?? ??? Wife Mary has not been sighted since the 1851 census.
EDIT to Add ....
This is the birth reg of the last child, Thomas

Is this the death of his mother Mary? It puts her birth at about 1819, which is not quite a match for the age suggested in 1851 census. (about 1823)

Interesting to note
William was allegedly a foreman at Mr. Ray's foundry.
I wonder if he died at work?

It looks like Hugh went bankrupt - 7th from bottom: https://www.thegazette.co.uk/Edinburgh/issue/10968/page/237
Also in the Stockton & Thornaby Herald, 2 Apr 1898
A THORNABY FISH HAWKER'S AFFAIRS
On Wednesday at Stockton Bankruptcy Court, before Mr Registrar Turner, Hugh Patterson, fish hawker, Thornaby, appeared to undergo his first public examination in Bankruptcy. The debtor stated that he was a bottle maker by trade and was employed at the Thornaby Bottle Works until 1883. He then worked as a labourer, and afterwards commenced business as a fish hawker. His liabilities amounted to £99 11s 3d. - In reply to the Official Receiver (Mr Stubbs) the bankrupt said he started business without any capital. He owed Abraham Hyams £18 8s and Raphael Hyams £9 13s for borrowed money. He first found he could not meet his payments three years ago, but was no scholar and kept no books. It was impossible for him to account for his deficiency. - His further examination was adjourned till April 27th.
