PATTEN Arthur Edwin
« on: Sunday 17 February 08 04:40 GMT (UK) »
Help!
I am running out of places to look for my ancestor. All I have is a name on a birth cert of my Grandfather. The cert states that Arthur was a policeman in Australia in the 1860's. I do not know where he was born, when he came to Australia or how. He did not marry the mother of my grandfather so no track of him other than a name on the cert.
If anyone can help guide me as to where I can find him, I would be etermally grateful. He is my biggest brick wall at the moment.
Thank you
Regards
Kaz

Hi Jenn
My grandfather was born 13th May 1879 in WA, in Fremantle I think. His father, A E Patten, is listed as a Policeman on the birth cert. There is an Arthur Wenn Patten listed as a policeman in the Fremantle and Geraldton areas around the same time, very close, but proving they are one and the same is proving very difficult.
Anything you can find will be a bonus.
