Hi Adrian good to see you on the forum.

[Adrian Featherstonhaugh]

Hello John, many thanks. Am struggling a bit here but slowly figuring out how these forum things work.

With your fairly unusual surname, I don’t suppose you are any relation to General Featherstonhaugh, of Ryde IOW b1848 d 1932? We are living in his house! rgds Martin R725653

Hello Martin, huge apologies for a nearly 2 year delay in reply but I'd forgotten that I'd posted this....
Anyway, yes, the surname is pretty rare but even so, I am pretty sure that the chap you mention is from a different branch of the family. As far as I can discover, my predecessors in the Victorian age were mainly "in trade" as they say and were grocers or shopkeepers of one type or another and based around London or the North East.
