Hi,
Thanks that's a great shout !
I've looked at Farway before and discounted it, but I'll have another look.
Thank you.

Thanks Don,
The older UK entries are in Essex and in Linkinhorne in Cornwall.
So, there only seem to have been 2 families about 200 miles apart.
The question is...where do they come together ?? (if they do !)
I'm more interested in the origins of the name, rather than the people themselves.
But one could lead to the other.
Thanks again for your help.
Rob

Thanks Carole,
Earlier on there were just as many in Linkinhorne in Cornwall.
I'm not actually researching the Forway family, rather than trying to establish where the name came from.
I have a record which says the guy I'm chasing was born in "Forway, England".
I can find nothing on this as a place, It's either a mis-spelling (possibly Fowey, Cornwall), or it doesn't exist any longer.
So, I was wondering if anybody of that name today, knew of it's origins.
Thanks for your interest.
Rob

Hi,
I was wondering if there were any people on here with the surname "Forway".
I'm interested in it's origins, for example is it an habitational name ?
It seems to have been more common in Essex that anywhere else. But there are some in Truro today.
Thank you.

Hi Ron,
This is all good stuff !
I was born and raised in Gateshead but now  at 65 I live just outside Harrogate.
I have found a WW1 enlistment record dated 1917 for Robert Venus of Victoria Road, Gateshead. Is he one of yours ?
Most people seem to be aware of Joseph b.1796 , but I have a parish record of his parents Joseph and Mary Hetcher getting married on 23 August 1760. I have no further details but he must hsve been born around 1740 ish.
I would appreciate more info on Daniels line, if possible
Best Regards,
Bobbyvee

Hi Ron,
Thanks for that, I have been having trouble verifying Mary Ann's history.
We are obviously related, which branch do you belong to?
I am also descended from Aaron, via William, John Burns, etc.
Best Regards,
Rob Venus

I am also tracing the Venus family tree. I have found that Joseph Venus born c.1774 was the son of Joseph  and Mary Venus ( nee Hetcher) married 23/8/1760 at St. Alphege church, Greenwich.
Joseph was a carpenter , how bizarre is that ?
Does anyone have definite evidence that Aaron married Mary Ann Nevans ? as I have seen a record that says she was born in Seaton Delaval/Blyth and Aarons wife was supposed to have been born in Deptford, Sunderland.
The only record that Sunderland Council have is of George Venus marrying Mary A Mackey in 1856, which would make our Mary Ann about 15 when she got married, not the 17 that everyone thinks she was. It is possible that Aaron was known by the name of George, or it wad transcribed wrongly.
Any help would be gratefully appreciated
