Re: William Fenn ..... Joseph E. Fenn

bmttcb — 2009-06-22 20:16:06Z

I, too, have a relative, Joseph Fenn, who died in the Civil War; however, he was with Company E, 15th cavalry Illinois and died in battle at Helena, Arkansas.

I guess that is not the same Joseph Fenn--too bad, I would have loved to have his tombstone picture!

Re: William Fenn ..... Joseph E. Fenn

baileypr11 — 2009-06-22 19:55:57Z

I was recently at a large cemetery in Birmingham, Alabama. In the older section, there was a somewhat lonely looking headstone for what appeared to be a Union soldier of the Civil War.

I photographed the marker because as a genealogy researcher myself, I thought descendants might wonder about their ancestor, Joseph E. Fenn and appreciate any information about him. I'm attaching a photo of his marker.

Perhaps it will be comforting to know that his remains were buried at Elmwood and he has not been forgotten. Note that someone recently has placed a U.S. flag near his marker.

This is my great-grandfather. In the 1850 census, I have him with his parents, Thomas and Jane Hunt Fenn, and his siblings, John, Joseph, Ann and Leonard. Adolphus or Albert was born later. John had a full life as a miner in the West, Joseph died in the Civil War, Ann and Leonard--I don't know. Albert lived in East St. Louis, Il.

Excuse the intrusion; I have been trying to research my family on my father’s side. I can’t seem to find information regarding my Grandfather, his name was Edward P. Cook. I do know however that there is a bloodline to the name Fenn in Iowa. The localities are different though… I was told there was a relation to an Earl Fenn in either Clinton, IA or Camanche, IA which is near Clinton. Also, the name Lester Cook in that area.

Have you found information for the Earl Fenn you are searching or may you have information linking the Fenn family to the Cook family in Iowa? I think Fenn could be my great-grandmother’s maiden name. My grandfather, Edward P. Cook married Vera Morgan and lived in Chicago. He died in the 1950’s before I was born and my grandmother (now deceased) didn’t have much to do with his side of the family.

If we can help each other, or if you have info I can use, My email address is: epcook@sbcglobal.net

Just spotted your query of 30 Oct 2008.
Harriet Fenn could not be the daughter of John Fenn and Eliza Scrutton as John and Eliza did not marry in Ipswich until December Qtr 1867. They had seven children but none with the name Harriet.

Thomas Fenn in Surrey

RuthMorgan80 — 2009-01-21 22:33:03Z

I have now found that Thomas Fenn of Bedford Square (1821 - 1901) was son of Thomas Fenn and Ann Burl who in 1841 were living in large home Fairmile (now a Premier Inn) near Cobham in Surrey. Afterwards Thomas and Ann moved into Cobham village and died in 1856 and 1854 respecively. Now trying to trace back to all local connections. My GGfather, Thomas Edward Fenn married (2nd wife) Amelia Jane Farley from Walton on Thames. Any further info or leads much appreciated! Also trying to find what happened to George Keyworth Fenn brother of my GGfather. Wonder if he emigrated? Unusual second name if he continued to use it!

Her father was Charles Maxwell Fenn, born 1862 in 102 Shoe Lane, West London. He married Sarah Ann Hilder. Charles Maxwells' father was William Fenn (no date of birth). He was an ostler (a stableman) and he married Ann Elizabeth Williams.

There was no obit in the Rockford paper when he died, just a list of the names of the men who had died which was about 100. How are you interested in the Fenn name.

Re: Fenns in London area

ericaeirian1 — 2008-01-21 10:42:23Z

Thanks Gary,
It's difficult as so many people living in the same area appear to share the same names! Anyway - I'll look forward to reading any further information you may find and I'll pass anything I find to you.
Erica

Re: Fenns in London area

ericaeirian1 — 2008-03-29 22:23:40Z

Hi Gary,
I've also been offline for a while hence the delay in thanking you for getting back to me.
As you say - there may be a connection but it may be coincidence as there seem to be a lot of people living at the same time in the same area/s with the same first and second names!
Erica

Re: Fenns in London area

ericaeirian1 — 2008-03-29 22:14:05Z

Hello Lucy,
I'd be really grateful for any information you have. My maternal grandfather was William John Doddington Fenn (born Poplar 1877), my great-grandfather Frederick Fenn (born Poplar 1846) and my great-great-grandfather was Robert Fenn (wife Hannah) who was born in Suffolk (in Nacton or Ramsholt depending on which census entry is the correct one - between 1816 and 1821). Any information which could take me back further than Robert would be much appreciated.
Thnak you,
Erica

Hello

I was just flicking through all posts relating to Fenns and came across your post.

It interested me as my father was a Fenn and his mother was a Stubbs. Also in your post you mention Durham, well one of my fathers ancesters went to live in Durham and there are ancesters there.

I do have some information on the Stubbs and Fenns and their connection so I will look through it in more detail for you.
