    Frances Featherstone of Tunbridge Wells Speldhurst September 21 age 37 years

    There is a Frances Featherstone baptized 22 July 1787 in Birling daughter of Daniel Featherstone and Elizabeth Skinner who may have had been the mother of illegitimate Elizabeth Bennett Fetherstone born 13 May 1811 in Frant, Sussex. Frances would be around 23 years of age. However as far as I can see that Frances married Mark Hills in Maidstone in 1806.
