[Facts] Surname FOOKS
Does anyone out there know the origin of the surname FOOKS. My family changed this name to FOX in 1850. Thank you.

What about Foulkes, sometimes with a double f, or Fawkes? I know a family who used to be Fawkes but changed it to avoid being linked with the Gunpowder Plot!
If you find out, please share the information with me - my mother's maiden name is FOOKS.
