Little Patrick died.... Tobias, (Patrick's father)  managed to re-united with some of the family he had left in Ireland.  Patrick's sister Elizabeth married Henry Evans in Launceston  and many of her descendants are  living  in Tasmania and throughout  Australia.

This Orphan died while in care at the Orphan Schools and has no descendants. The Friends of the Orphan Schools acknowledge him. A memorial garden has been created with a plaque dedicated to his memory and all those children who died. Each year the Friends gather at Fox's Feast and pause to remember them all.
