Explanation:
From: http://www.foweraker.com/origins.htm
Origin of the surname FOWERAKER
The earliest reference we have found to the surname 'Foweraker', or the related form **'Fouracre'**, dates from around 1000 A.D, though personally I have only found records dating back to about 1400.
We have heard three different explanations of the origin of the surname 'Foweraker'.
1. Looking at the form 'Fouracre', the origin is readily apparent. Perhaps it comes from a family who owned/farmed 'four acres' of land....

For "Tobias Fouracre," I would put トバイアス・フォーエイカー.
Good luck!

Explanation:
I think we can divide it into English way of pronounciation for four and acre rather than French way of pronounciation.
