Peter, It may just be coincidence but a Thomas Atkinson who was born at Patrington c. 1817 moved to Dunswell in the parish of Cottingham near Hull. His son, Herbert, who was born c. 1869 at Sunk Island just near to Patrington became the publican at two public houses in Dunswell from c. 1900 before taking to farming in the area. If you find this fits in anywhere let me know. What you need to do, if you haven't already done so is to buy a copy of the Patrington 1851 census index from the EYFHS, it is availabe for purchase via their website www.eyfhs.org.uk It covers the whole of that area and has almost a page of all the Atkinsons in that area at the time. You should be able to fit quite a few family groups together from it.
