I’m looking for information on Thomas FEATHERSTONE christened PARISH RECORD
Bromley St Peter & St Paul
Entry 1226 13 December 1826 Thomas son of Thomas and Rebecca FEATHERSTONE
Bromley Common, labourer and I was wondering if they were one and the same.

Any advice as to how to find out?

In 1900 Featherstone Twp., Goodhue Co., Minnesota census:
Thomas Featherstone, head of household, born Feb. 1826, age 74, married 24
years, farmer, born in New York, father born in England, mother born in
England
Kate Featherstone, wife, born Apr. 1830, age 70, has had 0 children and has 0
children living, born in Massachusetts, father born in Massachusetts, mother
born in Massachusetts
Fannie Featherstone, grand daughter, born Sep. 1880, age 19, single, born in
Minnesota, father born in Canada, mother born in Illinois
Herman Carlson, son-in-law, born Apr 1875, age 25, married 2 years, born in
Sweden, father born in Sweden, mother born in Sweden
Myrtle Carlson, daughter, born May 1872, age 28, 1 child/1 living, born in
Minnesota, father born in New York, mother born in Canada
George Carlson, grandson, born Sep 1898, age 1, born in Minnesota, father
born in Sweden, mother born in Minnesota

If this census is correct (and they are not always accurate) - this Thomas
was born in New York, and his parents in England. Evidently, Kate or
Katherine was not the mother of his children.
