Misc. Notes
There is a problem with the parent's names. On the baptismal certificates for the other children, the parents are listed as Joseph Paterson and Elizabeth Roberts. However, in the 'Historical Records of Australia' there are a series of letters by a William Paterson re a dispute over land in Hobart Town. One of these letters lists the names and birthdates of the children - and the information in this list is TOO close to the baptismal records for the children not to be the same ones. Also in these letters, the only mention of the mother's name is 'Elisabeth'...which fits with the baptism records. (all the William information has been provided by Bill Mirams). TAS archives card index - "PATTERSON, Eliza age 15 yrs, residence: Pittwater, Protestant in 1828 living with sister" (RFE CSO 1/122a pgs 131&140)...presume sister to mean Sarah Ross.
