Thank you for the information.  I have located my missing James relation - his father was a son of The Rev. John Fetherstonhaugh - so that makes James Howard a 1st cousin to my ancestor.  Your comments don't surprise me.  I would be very interested if you could direct me to any other information on the family or indeed on the politics in that area (my ancestors were here by the late 1840's).

Thanks again
Ron

Thank you for the information.  This is the John who I think is my missing James's father - I just can't find anything on James.

Thanks again
Ron

Unfortunately I don't know were they were born or were married.  I cannot find if they ever made it to Australia before he died - there is no death record here.  I note also that the descendent's of another son of the Rev John Fetherston (William) cannot find birth or arrival information. 

Thanks for the link I have found it useful - for other people as well.  (The Rev John seemes to have owned land in lots of places which probably complicates things).

Dublin / James Fetherston

I am looking for my great great grandfather a James Fetherston/ haugh. He married a Julia Ellen Evans who remarried a John Griffiths in Australia in about 1863. James had a son to Julia in 1852 in Ireland.

This younger James has been located through family folklore to the same property as Montague Fetherstonhaugh and Sir Montague Chapman in the 1850's in South Australia. Montague Fetherstonhaugh and Sir Montague Chapman (close relations) were killed at sea in 1852 off Victoria, and his brother Albany was killed in 1854 in a road accident in South Australia.

A brother to Montague and Albany, William Fetherstonhaugh, has descendants in South Australia. The father was The Reverend John Fetherstonhaugh, son of James Fetherstonhaugh of Westmeath.

William is not generally recorded as part of the family, but there is definite proof of this in Australian newspapers. Family history says that James was the forth brother. Naming conventions would support this.

I note that Albany and Montague went to Elizabeth College.

I also note they had a sister who was christened at ST. PETER'S C.of I. on 24 jul 1832 and lived at DENZILLE STREET  Dublin.

Can anyone give me any information on this James - I assume given only 1 child he died shortly after 1852?
