Daughter of Rev. Thomas Bishop and Elizabeth (née Fowle) she married Rev. Henry Venn in 1757 and they had 4 children, Eling 1758, Rev John Venn 1759, Jane Catherine 1760 and Frances Susannah 1763.
Her husband Rev Henry Venn was Vicar of Huddersfield and Vicar at St Peter's from 1759-1771.
She died on the Thursday 11th September 1767 and he describes her last hours in the book and there are letters he wrote to friends on her death, and although no burial record has been found as of yet, I found this excerpt in the book "The Letters of Henry Venn" {page 141}
"Mrs. Venn was interred on Saturday night, by torch-light. Mr Bennett preached in the church during the service. Mr Venn's text next morning "Let me die the death of the righteous and let my last end be like his!" ...."
(most likely buried Saturday 13th Sept 1767).
