Hi Listers, I am new to the list - live in Qld and am researching VENESS in the Manilla/Tamworth area. My Great Aunt Lily Gregg married George A VENESS in 1894 at Boulia in Qld. George's occupation was Mail Contractor. Children, all born in Manilla, Elsie Maud 1895, Cyril Arthur 1896 and Doris 1897. Lily died in 1900. George "Arthur" VENESS in the family bible, but "Albert" on the Marriage Certificate, was born c1869 s/o Daniel Edward VENESS and Mary Jane CUSH. There does not appear to be an entry for his birth in the BDM index for NSW. His siblings and their spouses, as recorded in the BDM index for NSW - Edward J born 1866 died 1933. Maude H born 1871. Arthur Thomas born 1873 married Isobel H BUSHELL 1897. Harold C born 1877 married Muriel GASCOIGNE 1910. Charlotte Emily born 1879. Henry William born 1881 married Minnie FITZGERALD 1910. Norman Stephen D born 1883 died 1892. Beatrice M L born 1886. There is a marriage for a George A VENESS and Mary E COUGHLAN in 1906, registered at Tamworth. Is this a second marriage for my George A VENESS? Is there anyone on the list researching this family, who could confirm this for me. Looking forward to making connections with other Veness researchers. Bev Kronk
