The Speeton Clay ones are Hibolites jaculoides Swinnerton

The Black Ven Marl one is a Nannobelus sp. (as are just about all belemnites of that age - they probably need revising).

Thank you @TqB Even with good descriptions of the finds. I wonder why the person who found them couldn't assign an identity to them. Are they not that common would you say.

Both are common but the literature is mostly specialised. 

 

Tim's links would give you the Hibolites.  Hjaculoides is by far the commonest there and is divided into several varieties in Swinnerton's monograph.

Thank you @TqB all noted. And as someone has carefully took the time to collect and make notes on them. Ill certainly continue with follow on notes and tidy the boxes up the best I can.
