While looking for the ancestors of my Venus family from East Peckham, I came across the will of Thomas Veness, Wheelwright of Marden, dated 1 July 1806. In it he refers to his sister and brothers: Elizabeth Honeysett wife of William Honeysett of Lamberhurst, Sussex, Wheelwright, Benjamin Veness of Pembury, Kent, Wheelwright, John Veness late of London, Wheelwright and Joseph Veness of Saint Mary Cray, Kent, Cordwainer.

There is also the will of Thomas' wife Mary dated 25 February 1821, which mentions Benjamin Veness, Wheelwright of Pembury and Joseph Veness of Crayford, Kent, Cordwainer.

Could this be the Joseph Veness who married Elizabeth Turner on 2 Mar 1794 in Eynsford. I've also found an entry in the London Gazette of 14 Jul 1801, which mentions a Joseph Veness of Sevenoaks, Shoemaker, who was discharged from debtors prison. As cordwainer is another word for shoemaker the profession and location fits, as the children of Joseph and Elizabeth although baptised in Eynsford, were born in Sevenoaks (non-conformist BMD).

Thomas Veness of Marden also mentions his mother in his will, Elizabeth Parker of Heathfield, Sussex. Elizabeth Veness married Edward Parker on 9 Apr 1779 in Heathfield, Sussex.

So possibly the parents of Elizabeth, Thomas, Benjamin, John and Joseph were Thomas Veness and Elizabeth Card who married on 14 Jan 1752, Wartling, Sussex. The children having been baptised in Brightling, Sussex. There were 2 younger siblings Hannah and Samuel, but both died before their first birthday, but the others match.

If any one else should stumble over this, I've found the transcripts for Goudhurst on FindMyPast. Unfortunately, no occupation was given for John at the time of the baptisms, but his occupation was given as Labourer on the marriage of Susanna in 1847.

No sorry I haven't, but they could be linked somewhere down the line - I'm looking more for the ancestors of Venus/Veness in Kent pre-1837 - Thanks
