Hello Jeff I suggest you head for the East Sussex County Records Office (ESRO)at Lewes where the parish records are held. There isn't any kind of archive at Battle as far as I'm aware although there is a museum, and the Battle Historical Society has a small collection of books. ESRO is the place to go, and the staff are very helpful there. Kind regards Caroline |

Hello Caroline I hope you don't mind me joining in this discussion, but I am researching the same branch of the Veness family as Roseleen! I am carrying out the research on behalf of my wife. In a nutshell, I recently moved to St Leonards, East Sussex, and have been researching the Birmingham line of Veness's for a while -and was intrigued to discover that the family originated just up the road from where we now live! I am after advice on where to find out more about the Veness's of Battle and Brightling. I will be visiting Lewes soon to look at the county archives. However, does Battle itself have any kind of archive? Best Wishes Jeff |

Hello Roseleen I have a marriage for Samuel Veness, bachelor, to Sarah Stonestreet, spinster, at Battle on 10 January 1781. The only baptisms at Battle that I have for children of Samuel and Sarah Veness are:- Thomas 18 May 1781; Ann 20 June 1800; Henry 22 May 1806. I couldn't find a marriage in Sussex for Thomas Veness and Mary Grant but there was a marriage for a Richard Venes and Mary Grant (of Brightling) at Battle by licence on 21 June 1730. I hope this is useful, and I'm happy to look further in my resources for Sussex if you can give parishes, approx dates etc. Best wishes Caroline |

Hello Roseleen I have some baptisms, marriages, and burials for the surname VENESS at Battle parish church and in nearby parishes (e.g. Ashburnham). If you'd like me to check my records I'd be happy to do so. Can you give me more info on the Veness family you're interested in? Kind regards Caroline |

I have records stating that family called Veness were married and baptised in Battle, finding it difficult to locate churches in that area, if anyone could advise on both veness and churches it would be great, thanks Roseleen |
