Sorry this is the other side of the family

Violet Bagwell b 1929c married John Featherstone in 1948 Ashton
I have John Featherstone b 1926 mother Helen Harris

William Featherstone married Helen Harris 1917 Ashton

William Featherstone b 1890 Ashton
also he might have a brother Richard b 1888,

1901/1911 census hopefully will help me with William some where their name changed from Featherstone-Haugh to just Featherstone

Yes that is the one I found and their was one for Richard 1988 also Ashton

It was a bit confusing seeing Ches after his name in 1911 but as you've pointed out Stalybridge is Lancs

Sylann Report 27 Apr 2011 07:14

Thanks Barbara does it say if the other people in 1891 are related

Sorted Doward is Edward step son so Sarah must have been married before

BarbaraFromYorkshire

BarbaraFromYorkshire Report 27 Apr 2011 07:29

just been and had another look on 1891 and that says William was born Stalybridge (not Ireland) but it does say Ireland on 1911 !!! His age on the differant census is all over the place too. --

this looks like Michaels death index--what do you think ?

Deaths Jun 1898 (>99%)
Featherstone Michael
age 72
Ashton 8d 328

Sylann

Sylann Report 27 Apr 2011 09:21

Looks as though it could be fits in with what you've already found that would make his birth 1826 I'll check on Irish roots and see if their is a birth for round that time !!

I'm not sure about the Irish site either --only the 1901 and 1911 census

Sylann

Sylann Report 27 Apr 2011 09:54

Yes the marriage fits in with the dates we have for the children and the death fits in too

Tried the Irish site again but nothing without paying Griffiths Valuation is just a lot of names and where they came from.

I think I'llhave to call it a day now until I can get more on Michael's birth
