I have the name Fowkes, which I suspect is the same, although I have not researched it past Leicester 1800s. However, I did somewhere along the line, by chance, and some time ago, find a Fooks(sp?) website, which had a Manx female (Peel) Morrison married in to a line which went all through the aristocracy, loads of titles, and guess what, all the way back to 500 AD!!!! I think the website was by someone in Florida. I couldn't find the named Morrison in any of our Peel records either!

Back to the name: well I noticed that the IGI groups all these Fowkes type names with Fox, but I really don't know if it is the same name or not. I used to think it was the same as (Guy) Fawkes, as a child.
