Northumberland Lookup Requests / Re: 1851 Northumberland census - Pattison, Greenhead parish
« on: Friday 10 June 11 10:01 BST (UK)  »
We have info from the Death Certificate we sent for, on Thomas Pattison who died at High Onsett, parish of Blenkinsopp, on 14 June 1845, age 57. He was an agricultural labourer.

His age would make him the same generation as the older William and therefore he was probably the uncle of William, Elizabeth and Edward Pattison.

The report talks about 'his brother' and the elder William is who we suppose him to be.

Thank all of you for your help

Best wishes

Clare

Dear Michael

Many thanks. We have all the primary source references by Bruce and others, though hadn't spotted that a bit of Bruce's writing had been copied in the Preston Guardian!

What we're looking for here is any genealogical information about some of the "players" in the story - Thomas, William and Edward Pattison. Knowing as much as possible about them and their relationships helps in understanding which parts of the story that's been handed down can be relied on and which parts might be suspect. A problem not uncommon in genealogy studies! :)

Regards

Clare

Dear Michael

Thank you for your comment about High Onset/t but if you read one of my earlier mails you will see that I have found that one but it was too far north - just shows that we are all thinking on the same lines.  :D

The reason for High Onsett in the Blenkinsopp area being the right one is that the finder of the Roman Arm purse (found in a possible Roman quarry in the 1830's) was from the Greenhead area in Northumberland. The writer of the report of the find wrote it some 30 years later and probably got his name wrong too - we have Pattison and there are members of both Pattison and PattiNson in that area. Bit like 'Smith' seemingly..... never mind, get variations on my own name which is not the one used here!

Thanks for your help

Many thanks for the link - my husband has had a look at Old Maps to see if he could find it (your link only came up with a small map on Internet Explorer) and we can see where they were - Low and High Onsett - on Google Earth.

Yes, I've noticed quite a few times it's way off where it should be, that's why its confusing and must be to people who don't know the area.

Look forward to getting the link

Dear Jennifer

Many thanks for your info - sorry not to reply sooner but gardening got in the way  :D

We have found a Thomas Pattison on FreeBMD and we've sent for his death cert to see who he was and what he died from in 1845.
This may have been the person we've been looking for.

It's interesting but on Google Earth it shows High Onsett, a desolate farm, to be well north of Hadrian's Wall and nothing to do with Blenkinsopp! Very confusing.

We'll add your findings to our file, so thank you once again

Regards

Clare

Hi EeyoreBlue

No, we're sorry but there is nothing else. You see, the name was in a report made in 1870's about a Roman Arm purse found in a quarry in that area in the 1830's and the name of the finder is all we have. We're doing some research on possible Roman stone quarries for an archaeological site in that area and the aforementioned object was found in a crack in the wall by this chap.

The research we're doing is nearing its end now, anyway.

Thank you very much for your time and sorry to disappoint with so little information on which to give you. Blame that Victorian reporter!  :)

Best wishes

Can anyone tell me if the 1851 census for Greenhead Parish, near Haltwhistle, has an entry for a Mr Pattison (not Patterson or Pattinson) First name possibly Edward or William, and possibly at a place called High Onsett.

Thanks

Isle of Man / Re: Church St, Ramsey - records of houses
« on: Monday 08 November 10 21:45 GMT (UK)  »
Many thanks for your suggestion.
 
We went in there last Thursday, while we were having a few days on the Island, and couldn't find much in their photo collection. They had mainly civic buildings but we did get 2 photocopies of Market Place and the church.

We have worked out from our map and the 1871 census which house they lived in and it's 5 houses away from Old Cross.

I just wondered if anyone might have a more general view of the houses on that street.

Anyway, thanks again

Clare
