I am researching a branch of my family named Fennyhouse - spellings include Fennehouse, Fennyes, Fynneyes, Finnhowse - who lived in west Staffordshire from at least the 16th century up until around a hundred years ago. I am trying to build up a database and would be grateful for any information.

There are around 60 'Fennyhouse' records on Ancestry, the majority from west Staffs - have you seen them all?
Is this fellow related? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Fennyhouse_Green

Hi Paul
Yes, I have all the names recorded on Ancestry and on the very helpful free parish records site, and I am aware of John Fennyhouse Green. But thanks for responding to my enquiry!

Hi I have come across the name Fernyhough/s alot in Cheadle-Dilhorn and a few times in Whitgreave could this be a version of what you are looking for

Hi Sue
The main area of concentration for my Fennyhouse family was around Lapley, Blymhill and Wheaton Aston in Staffordshire. I have come across one instance so far of the name spelled Fernyhouse, so yes, there is a possibility that it could be a variation of Fernyhough/s found around Cheadle and Dilhorn - the two areas aren't that far apart. Thanks for drawing this to my attention :)
