Hello Merril: I found a couple of entries for you. There were no Higginson or Jackson. I found a Paterson which could be a variation of your Pattison.

Very many thanks Mike, you sure are doing a wonderful job. Can't immediately see a link to mine, however it is always good to check any source available in hopes of breaking down that brick wall. I will certainly retain this information for the future. Don't know why my research has to be so difficult when my husband's line has revealed so much, I know there are no guarantees in this hobby & perseverence often pays off. Thanks again.

Could I impose upon you please to check if there are any of these surnames listed. KENNEDY, BLACK / BLAKE HIGGINSON JACKSON PATTISON My Kennedy ancestor was born in Antrim in 1809 & joined the East India Company Army in 1829 & went to India with his wife, ( I don't know her surname ), but the other names above were used as second christian names for the children born out there, so feel they may too be family surnames. With knowing so little about them, I am delighted to be able to take advantage of your kindness in offering to check this record. Many Thanks, Merril Bourne, New Zealand
