There are numerous Venus families in Shields mostly seamen in the coasting trade, and mostly born thereabouts, but one family, John Venus and sons were block and mast makers in Newcastle.
I notice that Aaron and Daniel Venus of Crayford were ship chandlers and there is a Ralph Venus a ropemaker at Rochester who was born in Newcastle 1832 and had married a locally born wife.
All the businesses are associated with shipping.
Hope this is of use, Peter

Thanks for the reply Peter
I know that there was a lot of Venus's around the sheilds & Tynemouth area and that they had links to the shipping industrys, i do work at Tynemouth Priory and there is three graves belonging to Venus's from the area, i do not have there names but will get them, the custodian at the priory says they had to have been high up in the comunity to be elagible for burriall in the priory grave yard and they had links to the shippping industrys
Aaron Venus was my 3xG grandfarther born in kent,crayford area and Danial was his older brother.
the 1851 census shows Aaron age 14 working i paper mill, then the 1861 census shows Aaron as a mariner and Danial was boarding at Aarons house, and the 71 census aaron is not preasant at the family home.
Could you please shed more light onto the two brothers as ship chandlers, mebies this was how Aaron became a Mariner
Many Thanks
Richard

My profuse apologies Richard. I misread the census image. It was the Venus brother's neighbour who was the chandler.
Perhaps the northern Venus families were just coincidence. Though Aaron married a wife from Deptford in Sunderland, there was a constant to and fro of small colliers between the NE and the Thames, probably he sailed on one.
In 1862 Ralph Venus was master of the innovative iron schooner QED of Newcastle. George Venus was master of the brig Pocahontas of North Shields, and an unidentified Venus master of the barque Keepsake of Sunderland. All colliers. I notice Joseph Venus of Maidstone was mate of the spritsail barge Clifford but she wouldn't reach as far as Sunderland.
If Aaron was alive in 1871 he should be included on the census in Vessels unless he sailed deep sea.
Peter
