Sennecks from Dorset

A look through English census returns indicates that Sinnick is the preferred spelling for west Dorset (ie Lulworth is mentioned) and Senneck (or Sennick) is used in the east (ie Corfe Castle and Poole). My family connection, as I've established it so far, is with Poole, but it may well be that the two names are simply two branches of the same family - or even that the census emunerators just used different spelling in different places. My gg grandmother was Eleanor (but referrred to in every census as Ellen) Senneck (1824 - 1876); Her father was Jonas Senneck who was born in Purbeck and lived in Corfe Castle, Southampton and Poole. I am interested in any information about this family..
