Ben has travelled the world in pursuit of water, waves and fun getting wet, but he has always called Beadnell home.

Message for Ben Patterson –
Wondering if you are the same Ben who is nephew of Joy and Edward and 2nd cousin to Drew and Alice Alexander? I’m their mum, was married to Ken.We have a caravan at Beadnell and spend as much time as we can here. (I’m currently sitting inside looking at beautiful blue skies!). I have a proposal to make regarding pictures of Beadnell – maybe we could talk? We’re here till Sunday, (31st).
Are you a relative of Edward Patterson b1789? One of his sons George was my gtgtgrandfather on my mother’s side. They all loved water!
It might be possible, but I’m afraid i couldn’t tell you for sure !
Best
