Owen must be a twin to james also born 1786.
Owen's grandfather possibly, was the famous Owen Feltham, writer and poet who died in 1668 it is believed.
I come from the line of James Feltham 1786, whose third son of 8 children , William born in 1817 was the Father of 6 children, 3 of whom, Henry, Frederick and Feaman, were Solicitors, who gambled all our substantial family wealth and lands away one week in late 1883 it is thought.....certainly records show a mass transfer of title from our family name to others between 1883 and 1888.
henry, born in 1844 had 11 children, and my ggrandfather was Robert William.His brother John (known as Jack) went to America and made his fortune and became a noted stamp collector living at Lake Mohapac, and had 2 sons Jack and Harry, whom I am currently trying to trace.
We had a Sir james richard Feltham, Admiral of the Queen's fleet at the turn of the 20th century who wroyte a book entitled 'the felthams'
lots more.send me an e-mail and I will attach what I have to you.perhaps we can all put it together.
