By the time of his birth, his grandmother Edith Watt Daniels had done extensive genealogical research on the ancestors of her son Raymond Edward Fenner Jr., including the Fenner line back to Richard at Fenne [b 1413]. Richard’s parents reviewed the genealogy looking for names similar to his father’s and brother’s, who were both Raymond Edward Fenner. They chose Richard as a first name and Arthur as a middle name, Richard for his 6x great-grandfather and Arthur for his 8x great-grandfather.
