      Hi, Yes that's the same Gunton family , I am descended from Ann's brother Robert born 1778 who married Elizabeth Overton in 1807. I have quite a lot on this family, great to hear from you.

      Hi Paul, I don't think this is the same Robert Gunton on the 1851 census, Robert seems to be a family name that is used over again, this one could be another branch of the same family. My Robert had a son Robert born 1810 a daughter Mary born 1815 and also a son Joseph born 1817. I've gone back to 1666 with this line and there's a Robert in every generation.
      Regards Bridget

Our Names

The spelling of the name Featherstone has varied over the centuries, with additions and subtractions. Here is the list that we have registered with the Guild Of One Named Studies.

Featherstone, Featherston, Fetherstone, Fetherston, Featherstonhalgh, Featherstonehaugh, Featherstonhaugh, Fetherstonehaugh, Fetherstonhaugh.

We have examples from the Birth, Marriage and Death indexes where people were registered at birth with the final 'e' missing and were married with the final 'e' in the surname. The 'haugh' is more difficult to prove, but people have suddenly adopted it for no apparent reason, although we have instances where people adopted the name, usually when money was involved.
