Življenje in znanstveno delo
[uredi | uredi kodo]Venn se je rodil Marthi Sykes in Rev Henryju Vennu, ki je bil rektor župnije Drypool. Njegova mati je umrla, ko je bil star tri leta. Venn je izhajal iz dolge vrste cerkvenih evangeličanov, vključno z dedkom Johnom Vennom. Sledil je družinski tradiciji in postal anglikanski duhovnik, posvečen leta 1859, ki je služil najprej v cerkvi v Cheshuntu v Hertfordshireu in kasneje v Mortlake, Surrey.
Šolal se je zasebno do leta 1853, ko je odšel na Gonville and Caius kolidž v Cambridge. Leta 1857 je diplomiral iz matematike. Leta 1862 se je vrnil na Univerzo v Cambridgeu kot predavatelj moralne znanosti, proučevanja in poučevanja logike in teorije verjetnosti.
Leta 1868 se je poročil z Susanno Carnegie Edmonstone, s katero je imel enega sina, Johna Archibalda Venna.
Leta 1883 je izstopil iz duhovščine, ker je ugotovil, da je anglikanizem nezdružljiv z njegovimi filozofskimi prepričanji. V istem letu je bila Venn izvoljen za člana Kraljeve družbe in je bil nagrajen z Sc.D. Cambridge.
Umrl je 4. aprila 1923. Vzrok smrti ni znan.
