For anyone who may stumble across this forum looking for a Veness ancestor, I have since found a whole lot more information about this particular branch from a very helpful Mr. Robin Herdman
Richard Venice (1657-) of Coldharbour Farm, Brightling (Sussex) married Mary Muggridge (1681- 1765) on 20 Jan 1702 at Burwash.

The eldest daughter, Elizabeth, had an illegitimate son, John Veness, baptised 19 Feb 1726 at Brightling.
Sometime later on in life, John moved to Dallington. He married Sarah Goodale on 29 September 1753. (John Snr. died in 1806 aged 80, Dallington).
They had three sons:
John baptised 1754 Dallington

Isaac Jnr. then went on to marry Barbara Baker, 22 March 1819, St. Giles, Dallington. The previous entries in this forum have covered from this marriage onwards:)
