Scotland / Re: PATTEN Arthur Edwin

Hi Kaz
I'm not related but have been asked to do some research on the Patten/Cable/Jones families.
In 1842 John PATTEN and John WENN arrived at Fremantle WA, passengers on the same ship. Somewhere between 1845 and 1852, John PATTEN and Harriet WENN (nee ENSOR), wife of John WENN, form a relationship together. They dont marry but do have children between 1852-1857. The youngest, Edgar Patten died in Geraldton 1930.
John Wenn goes off to Bunbury, starts another relationship around 1856, has another 10 children and doesn't marry this lady until his legal wife Harriet dies in Geraldton 1891. John Wenn dies only a few months after the marriage.
I can find no birth for Arthur Patten BUT there is a child born in
1843 John Patten WENN to John Bailey WENN and Harriet ENSOR, then in
1845 Esther Patten WENN, no father mentionedin index mother Harriet WENN. Both born in Fremantle. Esther died at 5 days old.
I can find nothing further on John born 1843. No death, no marriage. Could he possibly be Arthur Wenn (Edwin?) Patten. Maybe his mother not wanting him to carry the name of her ex husband. Maybe John Patten was his father. Was Patten their middle name because the 2 men were good mates, or was Patten their father.
John Patten and Harriet had 4 more children, all born in Fremantle.
Is their a gate in that 'brick wall yet' and the daylight coming throrugh......
Now if only I can find something on Thomas Ishamel JONES..
