Mainwaring (Mannering)
Featherstone (Fanshaw)

Slaithwaite (Sla'wit)

Thought it was Featherstonehaugh for Fanshaw

I think you mean 'pronounced' differently. The only two which spring immediately to mind are also names, viz Marjoribanks (Marshbanks) and Featheringhaugh (Fanshawe).

OOps, should have put Featherstonehaugh...sorry

What kind of words ?

What exactly are you looking for, cdwrover? Cholmondleigh (Chumly) is a name not a word in the British language, we could get a bit pedantic about this! ;-) - bouquet (for instance) comes from the French but is in common use in English.

You could say that most words in the English language of foreign derivation are pronounced otherwise than they are spelt, given the abundance of silent letters which would have been pronounced in the original language.

On a lighter note, the most extreme example has to be the hoarding outside the Victoria Palace theatre in London some years back which read, "The Black and White Minstrel Show". "Pronounced success!"

Cholmondeley - Chumley. Mid Cheshire. Pronounced Chumley or Chumly.
