Hi Ian:
I have a John Veness (alt spelling of Venus) born Arlington, Sussex 1810. His older brother Edward Veness is the g-grandfather of my wife Joanne Veness. Many of their siblings emigrated to Australia in the first half of the 19th century. I wonder if the "Fortitude" was enroute and failed to accomplish it.Age 26 is a good one to explore other continents
Good luck.
Stuart
