Genealogy: Featherstones in Chesterfield.
« on: June 02, 2012, 08:03:51 PM »
I've given my genealogy website a make over .
Comments, good and bad, gladly received  ;)
www.barryfeatherstone.co.uk

I'm also interested if there is a connection to Featherstones around Chesterfield to myself.
I haven't found a connection myself  :(

How about a 'Genealogy' sub board, in the, 'Old Chesterfield' board ?
Is anybody interested in tracing their family ?
We could share info, and websites available that supply data.
Discuss both.

I don't think I have the imagination for genealogy.  I did once read through a family tree that a member of my family produced but, for me,  it was just like reading a list of meaningless strangers.

Fly I have started my family tree - but don't seem to have the time to put together the last of my ancestors yet  ::) Mainly due to it being so time consuming and my carpel tunnel which dictates I use the pc in short bursts. Would love to have the time to delv more though. Have you had relatives in the Tupton area Fly, as a family of your surname lived here for many years (think the wifes name was Jean can't think of her hubbies christian name)

@JR -- you didn't have arelative in Tupton did you? He was a teacher and came from Wales is now deceased.

OC: Nope, Dad was from Colwyn Bay, met Mum in the RAF and when they left came back here.
Relatives were in Colwyn Bay, Blaenau Ffestiniog and Prestatyn.
Lost touch with all of them I'm afraid.

Added a link to a new tree on my website.
Lots of family from Chesterfield.  :)

Surnames, Floyde, Drury, Allen, Watson, Robinson, Reynolds, Gascoigne, Goddard, Charlesworth, Cooper and White.
These are all in the new tree I have on my site.
I'm 'not' actively searching for these names.
But people with these names in their family might make a connection to mine.

Here's an email from from a viewer of my website.

Subject: The Featherstones

Hi, what's your query ? Thought you might like to know: There's a book in the British Museum on the Featherstone family who, many, many years ago were a noble family owning what is now The Strand and many other areas.. Apparently money was lent to the King & 100 years later when the family fell on hard times the paperwork had got lost.. (coo er, who'd have thought it?. Our side of the family are Norfolk based, grandfather was from the Wisbech area and apparently there's an abbey (Crowe?) in that neck of the woods with many Featherstones interred within (my great-grandfather's name appears on a plaque to the side of the main entrance...

Name: Barry Featherstone
