FEAVER
Hi everyone... i just came onto the website and found everything amazing!! I never knew there were so many of us Feavers!!! Anyway, i thought i should add a bit more information, and try to shed a bit of light on my bit of Feaverdom!!
My name is Jonathan Feaver. I'm 24 and was born in Poole, Dorset.
My Dad is Nigel Feaver, Mum is Christine Feaver and my sister (was) Caroline Feaver now married and is a Mekkey.
If it helps at all, my grandad was Anthony Marshall Feaver, and he was born in Horsham in Sussex. his sister was Nancy Feaver. They were of the Feaver family that owned the John Feaver company, maker of tin cans in Bermondsey East London. (my dad knows more than i do!)
This factory was started in the late 19th century by John Feaver who came from Carisbrooke on the Isle of White!! (I know somewhere in a previous post, someone mentioned the Isle of White!!)
My Grandad Anthony Feaver, did not follow the tradition of working as a director of this company, but instead studied music at Cambridge University (st Catherines Colledge) and entered the BBC to become a producer on the "third programme" (now radio three).
He died in 1955 when my dad was just 4 years old.
If this is at all interesting to anyone, give me a shout and I hope I could help.
Jon
