Bev,
The 1851 Salford census is quite badly damaged and the Peel St area is particularly bad. I checked all the indexes I have (not complete Salford - excludes Broughton and parts of Regent Road) but found no Benjamin or Hannah Featherstone.

This partial entry from Peel St is a possibility:

Enumeration district:1E

Sched 89
Peel Street (no number)
                 
                           Head, M, -
        DITTO        Wife ,M, -, Ditto Ditto
John DITTO ,                    -, Ditto Ditto
        DITTO                      -, Ditto Ditto
Elizabeth DITTO ,           -, Ditto Ditto
John                     ,           -, Ditto

Not much help I'm afraid.

The only other Featherstone's I found are these:

Hi Skb
Thank-you for trying, as you say the 1st is a likely one,but the other two are not mine.It's a shame that Salford had to be the damaged one as thats the area were my Ancestors lived.
Once again thank-you for the look up

Hi Bev,

I am also doing some searching for the Featherstone family in the Salford area, some of which are my family.

I have managed to trace my tree back to Benjamin S Featherstone & Hannah Mary Atkinson. I have their wedding date as 25th Sept 1839. I know that they had a son called Benjamin Atkinson Featherstone who was my great, great-grandad. After finding what i believe to be my great-grandmother's birth certificate (Emma Feathertone). I have come across a confusion regarding Benjamin Atkinson Wife. I know that his wife was called Sarah which agrees with Emma's birth certificate, however her maiden name of Farrow is proving a mystery as we are unable to find a marriage for Benjamin & Sarah.

As you are looking for the record as mentioned above, i was hoping that maybe you could help me with this information.

Many Thanks

Sandra

ps are we related???

[bev32]

Hi Sandra

yes we are related, Benjamin Atkinson was the Brother of my great, great-grandad John Featherstone who was the oldest of Benjamin and Hannah's children.

Like you i have not been able to find a Marriage for Benjamin and Sarah, if i can help with any other information let me know

Bev

Hi Bev,

Wow, thanks for getting back so quickly, its all very exciting!!! :-)

Have you been able to find out any further information regarding the Featherstone's, like Benjamins brothers or sisters or any further information regarding the family further along the tree?

I am really excited about telling my grandad, he was Benjamins grandson, Emma's son.

I would really love to get in touch with you if that is okay? I dont think we are allowed to put emails on here but maybe you could search for me on facebook as Sandra Carew living in Sydney, Australia. It really would be lovely to keep in touch with you more. If you are interested then please drop me a line.

Take care and ill speak soon.

Sandra.

Hi Bev

I beleive (thats a long story!!) that my great great grandfather was a John Featherstone a baker who at one time lived in Heath Street Salford.  Is this your John Featherstone one of your relatives and if it is are you aware of the Bolers ?

Best Wishes

H Taylor

Hi
The John Featherstone you mention is my great-great-grandfather
his son george is my great grandfather, which of john's children are you related to.
I am not aware of the name boler but would be interested to find out where the name fits in to my tree.
Regards Bev

I have a family in my one name study which seems to cover your research, I have the marriage registration but not the church details would be kind enough to share
