      "the story starts in 1876 when Mr Matthew Featherstonhaugh sold to Frederick James Taylor his workshops and premises...Matthew Featherstonhaugh was a woolstapler by trade and his brother Joseph a ropemaker... In those days the Featherstonhaughs were big business in Newport Pagnell..."
      Extracts from Chapter 9 of From Marsh Street to Silver Street, Donald Hurst, 1988, Newport Pagnell Historical Society, ISBN 0 9511601 1 7
      Newport Pagnell is in Buckinghamshire, near the Northamptonshire and Bedfordshire borders and I've seen Featherstonehaughs in Northants parish records too.

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.
