Hi
According to the Featherstone Society it is pronounced Featherstone Haw.

I would add that accents from many decades ago would have had an impact upon the pronunciation, so the French could well have struggled with saying this name  ;)

The Featherstone society website has some info regarding Buddy Featherstonhaugh and his ancestry. What is your interest in him? I am distantly related and may be able to tell you more about his family history. Did you know he was also a formula 1 racing driver?

It has never been known as Fanshaw (apart from some cartoons in newspapers, Fanshaw is a surname it it's own right, and is no relation the Featherstonhaugh, or featherstonhoff, as sometimes written, as pronounced. If there is such a thing as the correct pronunciation it is known in the North East, the source of the surname, as Featherston haw, there are several place names ending in haugh, in the Tyne valley.
