I have searched for Ernest's military death record, there is one for Sunderland, which is the following, however it states that his mother was Ann!!

Name: PATTERSON, ERNEST
Initials: E
Nationality: United Kingdom
Rank: Private
Regiment/Service: Royal Army Medical Corps
Unit Text: 35th Field Amb
Age: 26
Date of Death: 07/10/1917
Service No: 44722
Additional information: Son of Ann Patterson, of 59, Mainsforth Terrace, Hendon, Sunderland.
Casualty Type: Commonwealth War Dead
Grave/Memorial Reference: VII. G. 7.
Cemetery: DOZINGHEM MILITARY CEMETERY

The only other option (it doesnt give his parents) is the following

Name: PATTERSON
Initials: E
Nationality: United Kingdom
Rank: Sapper
Regiment/Service: Royal Engineers
Unit Text: 96th Light Railway Operating Coy.
Date of Death: 30/12/1917
Service No: 276404
Casualty Type: Commonwealth War Dead
Grave/Memorial Reference: F. 67.
Cemetery: ALEXANDRIA (HADRA) WAR MEMORIAL CEMETERY

Does that look like him.
