      Emma Elizabeth Featherstone?
      by wseyner ยป Mon Aug 30, 2010 10:11 am
      I am looking for more information about an Emma Elizabeth Featherstone, Born 17th February 1876. I found her birth certificate in an old tin along with some of my relatives certificates. This surname currently has no link to my family history.
      the birth certificate reads;
      Emma Elizabeth Featherstone, born 17th February 1876 at 3 Adams Court, Islington. father William Featherstone, mother Sarah Ann Hoare, fathers occupation - Paper stainer, living at 13 Popham place, Islington.
      I have a marriage certificate of my Great Grandparents, Robert Godfrey and Lilian Maud Atkinson from 1932, there is an E.E.Godfrey as a witness. I have been unable to find any marriage information that brings the names together. I have found a marriage of an E.E Featherstone to a Thomas Franks, Bethnal green, June 1896.
      Any help or information would be much appreciated. Kind Regards
      Wendy

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.
