Hi Gut,

What is your source please?

I would imagine the surname to be something more like Rennie rather than Rennex?

Annie

My source my mum was a Rennex, till she married dad, she is still alive, I knew her dad, my grandfather very well, it was his mum.

Now was it Rennie somewhere back in the past, maybe, but I have it as Rennex back a fair way. I don't have that computer with me at the moment.

I had forgot about this post until now (latest reply) but the reason I queried it was...

On SP (scotlandspeople) there are only 111 instances of the surname Rennex, the earliest being 1849 (in Scotland) although you haven't said where (Country) your Rennex family were from 'back a fair way'?
