My father died in 1950 when I was a child (his name was Thomas John Fennings). Whilst I do not know a great deal about him I understand that he came from the E.London area.
I did have some research done some years ago with not a lot of success. I understand that the Fennings (as distinct from Fenning) family name originated in the Isle of Wight in the 1400 or 1500's, then migrating to the London area.
I think that there is some connection somewhere with the Scottish 'Grey' or 'Gray' family but as to exactly what this is I am not sure.
