Dublin / Re: Archibald Patterson, Dublin south Baker

Hi Shane,

thank you for your quick reply. William Crozier Patterson was a Clerk. He seems to have left Ireland in 1880 ish and immigrated to USA in 1891 where he ends up a Railway Clerk/Engineer manager. Another brother, Archibald Alexander Pollock Patterson marries in 1870 at St. Peter, occupation Law Clerk, residence 24 Bishop St.

I also found a marriage in 1844 of a Charles Birnie of 1 Grieg's Lane where the witness was Archibald Patterson. Archibald is spelled Archbold, Archibold, Archibald in numerous records. I see the son, Archibald Alexander on Braithwaite, James St and Marrowbone Lane throughtout the years.

It is very likely that Archibald the baker worked for someone else as his daughter married a law clerk and moved to England and his sons were clerks as well. My cousin found a mention of an Archibald Patterson, baker, in Belfast in 1888, but unless that was a son who went north, that's not possible. Though, that might end up being the connection I am looking for. I will have to search the Belfast directories. The connection I am looking for is between Patterson/Lewis and Dempster/McMordie in N. Ireland. It is so mysterious to our family as to how my grandmother ended up being adopted out of a London workhouse school by an Irish lady who is described in the London Poor Law records as "aunt".  Elizabeth's first daughter, Ellen Jones, took my grandmother, Milborough Lewis, out for a week's vacation just a week before Millie was permanently taken out by "aunt". Hmm

Thanks Shane

I have already checked all those, that's how I got some of the original info. My cousin, who directed me to this site, has suggested that I ask you to do a Thom's lookup on Archibald Patterson the baker. I found a death cert for him in 1874 which gives his birth as around 1800. His son William Crozier Patterson lived at 32 Denzille street upon marriage in 1873 and the ceremony was at St. Catherine's C. of I.

I will order the certs from Ireland, but am still doing searches as it would be more efficient to do a whack of them all at once as I will have to buy a money order/ bank draft in euros. It's too bad William's marriage cert is on Irish genealogy and not Elizabeth's which is the one I want along with Archibald's death cert.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Dublin / Archibald Patterson, Dublin south Baker

I am searching for my family in South Dublin. My Great Grandmother was Elizabeth Patterson, born about 1850 in Dublin (English 1881 and 1891 census info). Her father was Archibald Patterson, a baker. I think I have found two brothers and a sister: William Crozier Patterson, Archibald Alexander Pollock Patterson and Harriet Maria Patterson through marriage info online. Through Family Search I have found a reference for the marriage of Elizabeth Patterson and Thomas Ronald Jones in 1872, South Dublin and a death reference for an Archibald Patterson in 1874, though I don't think this is correct as it puts his age as 74 and that would make him fairly elderly to have those children? Elizabeth married 2. Charles Henry Lewis (my ggrandfather) and had Milborough Roberts Lewis (my grandmother) in London in 1887. She died 1896 in London.

I would like assistance in finding out more re Archibald, Elizabeth and who her mother was.  The church for William Crozier Patterson's marriage was St. Catherine's C. of I in Dublin. I am looking for a connection with Dempster and McMordie (N. Ireland) as they adopted my grandmother when she was orphaned in England and took her to Ireland in 1899.

Thank you
SandraE
