One newspaper clipping refers to Patrick's granddaughter as the "niece" of Pat Ward; This "Pat Ward" could be a son of Patrick, or, equally possible, the designation "niece" could be an error.
Patrick's obituary refers to predeceased "children", so apparently Isabelle was not his only child. However, so far, specific information has been very difficult to locate.
