I wrote about Ponsonby/Patrickson of Haile/St Bees/Ennerdale or of Millom: >It may, of course, be one of those coincidences. Beginning to look like a coincidence. I've just noticed that a Francis Patrickson of Gt Langthwaite in Millom had a will proved in 1741. On t'other hand, there aren't any earlier Patrickson wills for the area. A William Patrickson of Moor in Millom had a will proved in 1767. There was also a will for a William Patrickson of Todholes in St Bees in 1729.
