Hello again, yes it is addictive! Well, I would say that Wilson in 1911 is almost certainly 'our' Wilson, especially with the 1924 death. Also, John Featherstone senior (1816-bet 1881-1891) did have some brothers whose children I have not accounted for yet, so it may I am related to the Stanhope Featherstones through these lines.

Also, yes, lol, I agree that Westmorland to County Durham is not very far, but I was trying to imagine this with an c. 1800s perpective, i.e. travellings by horse and cart ... I like to think I am a little well travelled ;)

Thanks for straightening that out, Sylvia, re: Ralph, and sorry to lead you astray, Peter!

I did get a kick out of your statement, Peter, that Westmorland is a long way from Durham & West Yorkshire. For us Canadians that's just a short hop!

Hi all,

Addictive this isn't it ..? LOL

I did find a Wilson Featherstone b 1843 in the 1911 census. on view.
living in Newcastle-upon Tyne Northumberland

Any good Peter ?

I did notice last night that there seem to be quite a few Featherston's from Stanhope.


:)))))

Ar! I haven't got a Jacob on my tree ... yet! I will have a look at the big picture and see what I find!

Thanks

Peter

Maybe Jacob Wilson Featherston is related to your lot

No Margaret, Ralph isn't one of Wilson's children ... although very possibly related!

Oh, Margaret, thank you for your find also! I hadn't seen this before! Erm, to be honest, I am a little lost as to what to say. I suppose this is baby is a relation of mine, but Westmoreland is a long way from County Durham and West Yorkshire. Erm I am a little lost as to what to say ...

Hello, well thank you so much for your help Mrs Bucket, Quinsgran, Marylin and Sylvia! It is lovely to of you to take you time out and help me with my research and to Sylvia thank you also for the earlier censuses. I did have these but it is good to see that I was on the right track and not going the wrong way! Thank you again. Also, it was lovely, but sad to see Ernest Featherstone in 1901 ... I hadn't seen this before and a month later in May he was killed in an accident at work in the Ship Yard. I'm going to go and really look over this but thank you again!

Thank you for looking also for Wilson in 1901 ... he just disappears! This is much appreciated.

Cheers,

Peter

Just realised that Ernest in 1901 is not Ernest son of Wilson, but a cousin of his ... phew, this can get quite confusing sometimes!

Could this be a child even though he doesn't show up on any of the censuses?
