Laurence Venus was my father's brother and I am the eldest of the next generation. I was born in 1932.
I have done quite a lot of research into the Venus family history.
I have a photo of Laurence and Pat's wedding.
I would like to get in touch with Susan. I know that Pat married again but do not know her new name or where she moved to. Did Susan take her mother's new name.?

margerice1 — 2006-10-12 06:01:54Z

I have an original postcard photograph of “Junior class of 1927”, which includes the name and photo of “Ray Venus”. I’d like to get this back to descendants or family members. Photo was taken in 1927, and all the students look to be about age 17-18. The names listed are Joe Laird, Ray Venus, Helen Kleinerechter, Miss E. Kimmell, Louise Cory, Marguerette Cook, Irene Gronchewski and Ruth Miller.

I found Raymond Venus, age 20, in the 1930 census for Cudahy Twp., Milwaukee Co., WI. Also in 1930 Cudahy Twp. were Louise Cory and Joseph Laird.

Get back to me at margerice@prodigy.net if you are related to Raymond Venus of Milwaukee.

Re: Venus from Spain to Alabama, 1850's

2004-02-06 19:50:50Z

I'm still looking for information on this family. I did recently discover than John Venias is listed as a seaman on the C.S.S. Morgan, serving out of Mobile, Alabama. This is perhaps the same man, and perhaps the reason he came to America. Later censuses say he was born in Barcelona and that he immigrated around 1860. He married in 1865 in Mobile to Mary Frances Kilpatrick.

Re: Venus Family in VA - 1700s

2004-01-18 19:51:19Z

Thank you for your response, Julia. Actually, my VENIS line was German in origin, their name originally being FINIS. Johann Heinrich FINIS, the father of my Christiana, came to America as a Hessian mercenary soldier fighting on the side of the British during the Revolutionary War. He was captured by the Continental Army, and after the War decided to remain in America. His daughter Christiana married Jacob SUMMERS in Virginia, and in 1818 they migrated to Indiana. She is buried there in St. John's Cemetery, Greenville, Floyd Co. Most of the rest of her family moved to Ohio, where many can be found today.

Thanks again.

Further to message from David Venus Grieveson.My grandfather was born in 1880 - Frederick Charles Venus. His fatherb was one of 21 children. If I can find the family bible I can possible find out more. As there were so many children in the Venus family, probably born around the early 1800s it is quite likely that there are many links out there. Any info gratefully received.

Just to add a few threads to the Venus name. My Grandfather Charles Venus 1892-1940 (Jarrow) married Catherine Robson in 1915. He had a brother David born 1904 and probably a sister Maria.
His father John Venus 1864-?(Jarrow) married Eliza Jane Dorman in 1888.
Johns father also John Venus married Elizabeth (Paulsby or Saulsby or maybe Soulsby)
That's it so far If anyone can add any more information I would be grateful

Venus surname

2001-02-10 09:05:00Z

My maiden name was Venus and I was born in Devon. My Grandfather was born in 1880 and died in 1978. His name was Frederick Charles Venus and was one of eleven childen. My great grandfather also lived in Devon but I think he originally came from elsewhere in the UK. My grandfather went to Canada with some of his brothers as a young man (Salmon fishing) and at least two of his brothers settled in Canada, I think they were called Wilf and Alf. Two more of the brothers settled in Hull, they were called Wallace and Bern. Anyone know any of these names.

Venus family North Shields area C1828

larry_veness — 2002-04-15 02:55:48Z

I am looking for information on John Venus born C1828 in North Shields, Cumberland, England, son of John Venus (who was an engineer ) and Isabella Robinson. John listed his occupation as a sawyer and his age as 30 years and married Mary Ann Newlyn.
This information came from his marriage certificate dated 8/9/1858 at Pambula, NSW, Australia.
I am not sure but could Cumberland be Northumberland as there is a North Shields near Tyne and Wear.
I have found information on a John Venus and a Isabella Storey of Tynemouth, Northumberland, England who had a daughter christened Isabella on the 3rd of May, 1812 at Tyne mouth but am not sure if there is any connection.

Martin V. Willover

ivansforth — 2001-06-29 07:45:50Z

I saw your message re: Martin V and marriage to Venus. Martin V. Willover was my great grandfather's (John A.)brother. There parents were Abram Willover and Emeline Coon of Hinsdale and Olean (Cattaraugus County),
NY. There is a great historical site at:
www.rootsweb.com~nycattar/bios/catcobies.txt.
It mentions several Willovers including Martin V., he was a Civil War veteran captured at Plymouth, NC. It says he died in Florence. Florence what I can't tell you.
Did Venus and Martin have any children, where were they married? My great uncle, George Willover (John's son - Martin's nephew)married a Nellie W. Green (daughter of James Green and Olive C. Lyle) in Kinzua PA July 11 1900. They lived in and around Olean,NY,and I believe also Niagra Falls.
