What a strange name! The only ones on Google appear to be mis spellings of funeral! My most unusual is MNASON but this was easily found on Google and is an obscure biblical name. When I first saw it I thought it was a mis spell!! Anne

Hi Helen, nope all I have is James fenural warner on his sons birth certificate, have sent off for marriage certificate this week,to see if there is a different spelling, update, also His sons wedding certificate, with name of father but his son always called him fenural, and so did my dad! cannot find him on census, have tried Zenural, tenural, but marriage vol nO said James F and it was to the right person, if that makes sense They married in Nottingham 1911, had grandfather 1914 Looked at Fennel, but I'm sure its not him, unless marriage cert says different
