Hi Alison and thankyou.  1854 was George Featherstones birthdate, but any more information will be quite welcome. I believe he was born at Carlton juxta Snaith. and moved to the Stanley cum Wrenthorpe area near Wakefield.  It's info on his wife Elizabeth Matthra which is proving to be elusive.

The Hannah Taylor from the 1871 is a stepdaughter to Amos and Ellen Roberts in 1881 and Ellens maiden name was Mathery...which is close for Mathera.

Well thanks Joe,  you've been extremely helpful and i very much appreciate your searching and help. You see George and Elizabeth was my great grandparents and were living when i was born. I have a couple of photos of them but she's been really elusive to trace, and as you say maybe because of the spelling of the name. and thanks for the tip on daughter-in-law  and step-daughter.
