      Hello Paul,
      I have been creating my tree on ancestry.com and have some changes for your database. the 1901 census info is wrong for Henry John (who is my great grandfather) If you link your ancestry.com listing to mine for him, you will pick up the details and also info on his descendants and lots of pictures etc Now - a request He came from Brenchley, as you know, but his ancestry goes cold with I1462 (John) He must be related to the massive Brenchley Featherstones, but I cannot see any. Any clues as to where to go next? Thanks for your fantastic work, Sir Paul (OBE)! Tony Featherstone, Gravesend afeath22@btinternet.com 5 November 2009

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.
