This is apparently an Anglicized form of TAPUIS which is from the French "tapis" = "carpet" It was an occupational surname as many of them wove carpets. TAPHOUSE was especially found in the English Midlands around Birmingham. Long boring story about this name which was married into my mother's family. BTW: Googling "huguenot surnames" will give you lots of other sources. Be lucky Ray
