      Many people researching their family history have come across death certificates giving 2 Herries Rd as the place of death; in later years this would often mean the hospital side of the Workhouse or the Fir Vale Infirmary. If there is another address also on the certificate then it would mean the person was a patient rather than an inmate. http://www.sheffieldindexers.com/Institutions/FirValeWorkhouse.html

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.
