Do you have any dates this gun maker was working? I have checked in Bailey and Nie's "English Gunmakers" and not found him listed.
 
You could try the historical database at www.internetgunclub.com and there may be info available. At the time of posting this message the database is not available due to a site upgrade.

I have found Stephen M Patrick listed in the 1891 and 1901 census so far. He was born in West Heslerton, Yorkshire, c1839. In both census he is listed as a gunmaker.
 
In 1891 his address was 5 North Street, Scarborough, where he lived with:
Wife, Maria (40 )
Son, William M (18 ) - Gunmaker
Dau, Houner (13 )
Son, Harold (11 )
Son, Herbert (9 )
Dau, Maud (7 )
Son, Arthur (6 )
Dau, Edith A (4 )
 
 
In 1901 he is listed as a gunmaker on his own account and working at home. Address is 20 1/2 Aberdeen Wall.
 
His family and their ages in 1901 were wife Maria (50 ) and sons Harold (21 ), Herbert (19 ) and Arthur (16).
 
That's all I have found so far.

Thanks, David. This is just what I was looking for. I knew I had a kinship with him (blacksmith). He sure made a beautiful little rifle.
