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
