Hi all,
Please could you help!
I have stated tracing my family history but unfortunately the line stops at my grand dad!
My grandma however can be traced back to pretty much the 1500s.
Here’s what I have:
My dad Malcolm Venables (1951-2003) had 4 brothers. Alan, Peter, Paul and Anthony (Tony). There parents were Margret Pearl Kemp and Eric Venables.
Margrets line is easy to find following the Kemps including William Kemp who died at Broadmoor hospital in 1888, through the Stone family into Fox (Foxe) and into Vaux.
However! Eric stops at Eric.
What I do know is he had a brother called Jack Venables. There’s also no record of Jack. Wether that was a nick name I don’t know. My uncles just knew him as Jack. Apparently he had 2 sons one called Robert and 2 or 3 daughters.
Eric Venables was born 29 Jan 1927 in Staffordshire. He died in 1982 possibly Coventry or Nuneaton.
The Venables/ Kemps were largely based around Orchard Street / Marston lane in Bedworth Warwickshire but as Eric was from Staffordshire I guess that’s where his parents and Jack would be based.
So basically I am looking to find Eric’s parents and anything about ‘Jack’!
Any leads / help would be much appreciated
Thank you
