Thank you all.

I'm a little confused, Cas - do you mean there were Pattersons still living at 11 Double Row in 1939 (from the Census referred to by Chempat?).  I understood Double Row to be miners cottages/houses connected with the colliery, and would have assumed the family would have vacated the dwelling when the father was killed.

Thought the census was restricted for 100 years.

Looking at the ages of the children, both Edward and Oswald would have been old enough to be working at the mine by 1916.  If one, or both, were employed by the coal company then the tenancy  would have been secure.

Thank you Christine - it had sunk into my thick skull about 10 minutes ago that was probably what happened. 

Fascinating what turns up in these searches; I've made more progress on this story during the last 24 hours than in the last three weeks.  Thank you all.
