      GGPs Joseph, carter, and Margaret Featherstone hd, were living in French St, Div of Ballarat East. Joseph's widowed mother Mary Featherstone nee Greggs (2x GGM) was living nearby in Snake Valley, Div of Ballarat, her husband Ralph (2x GGF) having died in 1901. Ralph and Mary emigrated in 1853. Despite its unattractive name, Snake Valley is quite a sweet little town :-)
      Henry and Margaret Todd Featherston were living in Sandford, an earlier name for Bendigo, in the Division of Wannon. Henry was the only son of Emerson Featherston and wife Hannah (nee Featherston). Emerson died the year after he arrived in the Colony. He was a brother of 2x GGF Ralph.

      Muggleswick is a village and civil parish in County Durham, England. It is situated a few miles to the west of Consett. the population was 130 at the 2001 Census reducing to 113 at the 2011 Census.[2]

      The village has a number of farms and domestic dwellings as well as the Church of England church, generally accepted as dedicated to All Saints, and village hall (previously the school). Amenities other than that consist of the phone box with its adjacent litter bin. Agriculture is primarily sheep farming with some cattle and hay.

      There are the ruins of a priory, once a hunting lodge for the Prior of Durham, which is a listed building.[3] These are located near to the church.

      In the United Kingdom Census 2001 the population of the village was 130 with 66 male and 64 female[1]

      A significant area of the south and west of the village is taken up by Muggleswick Common, an area of upland moorland used for grouse rearing (and associated game (food) shooting) and sheep grazing. This area consists predominantly of heather with encroaching bracken. The Common is part of the Muggleswick, Stanhope and Edmundbyers Commons and Blanchland Moor Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), designated as such by Natural England for its habitat diversity and the presence of a range of plant and bird species of national and international importance.[4]

      To the east, the village is bordered by the Derwent Gorge and Horsleyhope Ravine SSSI.[5] This area has been classified as such due to the range of plant species and areas that have remained free from human interference.

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.
