Notes

Possible Baptism [1] to parents William and Grace at Bishops Tawton, Devon, England on 12 February 1826

  • Lucy Featherstone Female 7 Devon
  • Sarah Featherstone Female 6 Devon
  • Martha Featherstone Female 3 Devon

This same family shows up in the 1851 Census with the father as a joiner and beer house keeper so it is highly likely to be the correct family
