Patty Confusion!
Alexander Patty married Elizabeth Bridson at Marown, Isle of Man, in 1842. Unfortunately, the celebrant wasn't using the normal template and didn't record the fathers' names.
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61...3A1%3AX8MZ-HQ8 Alexander Patty's father was Thomas. I'm trying to establish the parents of Elizabeth. Alexander died in 1858 and Elizabeth took the younger children to the USA. Like many of the wider Patty family, they settled in Illinois. They are sometimes written as Paddy. Many people in the USA say her father was James McCarry and her mother Catherine Cain. I'm not sure where they think Bridson comes in! https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/...lizabeth-patty https://www.ancestry.co.uk/family-tr...65155895/facts https://ancestors.familysearch.org/K...dson-1820-1875 From the censuses Elizabeth appears to have been born c. 1816 / 1817. https://www.ancestry.co.uk/imageview...5?pId=16383142 There are two possible baptisms at Malew - one to William and Eleanor, which I think I have discounted. The other is to John and Jane in 1816. The only other scenario I can think of is that Elizabeth was a widow when she married Alexander Patty. Alternatively, the posters are privy to information I don't have! I can't find any evidence linking Elizabeth Bridson to this family.

There are a lot of John Patty wills I could check out on Family Search, but I really need to narrow it down first!

Marriage of John Bridson and Jane Curphey at St Mark's, Malew in 1805:

I haven't found any mention of bonds or allegations, Phoenix, but I could look into it.
Yes, there are some distinct Manx names, some of an Irish or Scottish origin. One of the favoured Christian names was Caesar. There are lots of surnames that being with Q.

Can I ask why you have discounted William and Eleanor? I note that Elizabeth's first child is called Ellen, which would fit with the standard naming pattern.

Oh, yes, I remember - I found William's will on Family Search and he names his daughter Elizabeth Bell. It ties in with the censuses I found for the family.

Ah right. Yes, thousands of Ellen/Eleanor and millions of Williams.
