Re: Help please with surname "Spencer-Hayes".
in reply to a message by Andy ;—)
The Hayes part may derive from the place-name Hayes, near London. Meaning, I guess, "brushwood", as already given.
But take care! Many of the surname Hayes are of Irish origin, it being used as a substitute for the Irish O hAodha (O Hea).
However I suspect the enquirer is looking for a family history. Wrong website.

No I'm not looking for a family history just interested in it's origins etc. as it's a name in my family.
