    4. [S2796] Marriage Register Parish of Tonbridge, Kent, (Period, -2021), Tonbridge, Kent

      Thomas Gasson Batchelor of this Parish and Amelia Featherstone of the same spinster were Married in this Church by Banns this 14th Day of Octr 1802

      Both made their mark in the presence of John Bennett who signed and Hariet West who made her mark.
      I still don’t know where she came from! We know neither she or her husband could write. Often the surname is transcribed Gapson. She is named Emily at the baptism of her first son, but that doesn’t help.

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.
