The Fooks Family

[tazzie]

  Hi Messy....Welcome to Rootschat

 As you see there are many variations to the Fookes/Foulkes/Folks that appear in this corner of the Beds/ Bucks border.
 Would you like John's marraige details for Fanny's maiden name..?
 In 1851 Fanny gives Clophill as place of birth and a Fanny Dudley was baptised there in 1812.
  She married as Frances Dudley to John Folks in 1831 again in Clophill.
 So far I have William Fooks bapt in Bletchley to William Richardson & Elizabeth Fooks ...William marries 2 years later and not to Elizabeth and cannot prove which Elizabeth is mine. Keeps me busy!

Hi Messy - not only welcome you to Rootschat but to the Fooks/Fookes/Fowkes/Fox, etc branch lines.

Thank you for your response to my post it looks like you are on a branch of another tree as I have my ancestors covered during that period though I'm not discounting it out as there could be a link somewhere which I don't know about. I got most of my information on the Fooks from my aunt, my mother's sister and they were born Fooks. I find in most intriguing and enthralling that there are so many different spellings of the name and they appear mainly in the Beds/Bucks border area.

Hi Tazzie, I've not long started trying to trace my tree. I have George Fooks 1773-1842 married to Anne Sinfield. George's parents I have as Thomas Fooks 1747-1827 and Sarah Irons 1749-1807. If you have any information relating to that line, going further back, I'd very much appricate your assistance.
