There are Crew lists and shipping agreements forAble Seaman Richard Patterson born 1861 Cork from about 1880 til discharge in 1897.
Anyone fancy having a bash at finding Jane McNaught for me - I have looked at every option that I can think of. Given that her son Richard is living with his grandmother Sarah in 1901 I can only assume that she died before 1901 - As his father was a seaman its unlikely that he would take his wife with him right ?
I still can't find a death for Jane/Jeanie (McNaught) Patterson although I checked both Ireland, especially Cork, and Scotland. Her death might confirm or rule out that her son Richard Patterson is the one OP is looking for.
