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

If you find out, please share the information with me - my mother's maiden name is FOOKS.
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!
