      I have just found a gg grandaunt of mine Catherine Thompson Jefferys married a David Featherstone at St. Pauls Chatham on the 1/9/1861 any connection.

      Hi Paul, thank you for your reply, since I last e-mail you I have found some more info. David Featherstone was only a member of my family a few short years he left with at least 2 cousins James Oswald b 1861 and David Jefferys b 1864. He must have died some time after that as in 1867 Catherine remarried.

      In the 1881 census the boys are listed under the name of Hoathrestone ??? how that for transcription. Judy Barham [mailto:barhamj1940@compassnet.co.nz] 30 May 2002

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.
