Hi everyone
In my endeavours to find a link to my Irish COTTER ancestors i started to look for common names both first and second names. Finding more dead ends and unanswered questions. I particularly need confirming of birth death and marriage of Bridget PULLEN shown only in BDM VIC as mother of ELIZABETH AUGUSTA PATTERSON (lil) born 1863 YANKEE CREEK HUNTLY VIC
Thanks Craig

Elizabeth’s 1863 birth certificate records mother as Bridget Patterson formerly PULLEN age 29 from County Cork Ireland.
I suspect Elizabeth Augusta was the result of an extra-marital affair. It appears that Andrew Patterson was already / still married to Elizabeth Cotter.
The child seems to have been raised in the Patterson family.

If you are trying to find COTTER links, surely it is Elizabeth Augusta COTTER that you need information on. ??
Elizabeth Augusta COTTER had a number of children with Andrew William PATTERSON
Her death certificate, Aug 1919 gives the following information:
Age 95. Born in Dublin, in Victoria for 62 years
Father Patrick Cotter school master; mother Fanny m.n. Power
Married to Andrew Patterson in Melbourne about 28 years.
Issue: Jane 67 yrs, William Thomas 54, David dead, Elizabeth Augusta 59, Henrietta Eleanor 54, Rebecca dead, Walter 42

NEALE1961 thanks for your reply .The association to COTTER may be that Bridgets actual name was COTTER and arrived on the ELGIN 1849 to SA and got up to mischief with other irish orphans my ancestor is ELIZABETH ANN BLYTH COTTER WALSH/PUGH PATTERSON . Most of ELIZABETHS history has been reported on bdm docs but accuracy is debatable
thanks Craig

Thanks Sparret for your inquiry some of this info is old ground redone from a different angle.
Reported birth name per death cert 1914 bdm vic ELIZABETH ANN BLYTH father ANDREW BLYTH civil engineer mother unknown. On her daughters AUGUSTA SUSANS WALSH birth cert 1853 fathers name CHARLES EDWARD PUGH/WALSH (walsh being acting name) on cert says her name formerly DINIGHAN. On her marriage cert 1883 she was named as WALSH her husband as WILLIAM STORIER PATTERSON her father as EDWARD BLYTH not ANDREW as previously reported and mother as MARGARET COTTER.
I could not find the cert for marriage to CHARLES EDWARD PUGH 1849 collingwood is stated on 1853 daughters birth cert
Thanks again Craig

Obituary from the St Arnaud Mercury 28 Feb 1914
Elizabeth Ann PATTERSON, relict of the late William Storrier PATTERSON
..78 years…born in County Cork, Ireland, came out to Australia 69 years ago….lived 36 years in St Arnaud
The family are: Mrs.Nicholls, Maryborough; Mr E.P. Walsh, St Arnaud; Miss Isabel M. Patterson, St Arnaud; Mr John W. Patterson , St Arnaud
therefore born in Ireland approx 1836; emigrated age approx. 9 years in 1845 (perhaps to S.A. ??)

I think Dirtypaw has been researching and working on this family connection for many years ;D
Here is a thread from 2017

Sue is correct have been searching for parents or siblings of my ELIZABETH ANN PATTERSON for a while and hoped revisiting might set a new light on her .The indirect approach through BRIDGET PULLEN came about through association of COTTER and PATTERSON and persons family first name AUGUSTA .
I hope i can find a link by association but think the use of aliases or coincidence of same family names
may sink my plans. I would like to thank everyone for the input and tolerating my logic or lack thereof.
Thanks Craig ???
