      Hello Paul I do not know very much about Elizabeth Featherstone except she was the second wife of a William Cornelius Elsy. Joseph C Elsy appears to be called after his grandfather on his fathers side of the family. I do believe Elizabeth took on the children of Williams first marriage after his wife died but three of the children may have died in 1855 do you have any information on this.

      Dear Val
      I am indeed indebted to your interesting site, and in particular to the contributor to the Elsy page, Glen Matthews, for that valuable and hitherto unknown, to me, information. the wedding witness he mentions, William C Elsy, is my great grandfather.
      I am a late entrant to family history, but I offer the information I presently hold. I knew my great grandfather was born in Norfolk but not the location.
      He married Elizabeth Featherstone, of Rochester , Kent , at St. Nicholas Parish Church, Rochester .Date: 24 th August 1854 .the certificate shows: Both of full age, Elizabeth as spinster, and William as widower. He is listed as Waterman. (he is Master Mariner on my G/father's Marriage Cert in 1892 ). Her father too, is listed as Waterman and his father is listed as Joseph Elsy, Hair Dryer.
      to see the rest of Arnold Elsy's information on the non-Salthouse Elsys click here and see Glen's reply, and more Elsy info: here

      23 March 2021 My Gt Gt Gt Grandmother was Elizabeth Featherston(e)She married William Cornelius Elsy abt 1854 in Rochester Kent. Her daughter Elizabeth was my Gt Gt Grandmother and had a daughter Mary Elizabeth my Gt Grandmother. She had a daughter Elizabeth my Gt Aunt. No Elizabeths in the next generation but I am an Elizabeth.
      I'd like to know if there are any relations I don't know living nearby. My Gt Gt grandmother married twice and had many children with her second husband. I have been contacted by someone in Canada related through the second marriage. I am descended from the first marriage

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.
