Hi, there was no town or village called East Dean, it was an administrative division as with West Dean, which covered the extra parochial area of the FoD. Commercial Street sounds like Cinderford or Ruspidge, somewhere like that. Vaughan is a name that crops up quite a bit in the Forest and thereabouts.

First call is always the IGI, although entries fizzle out after 1837 as the State Registration is better source. Most Public Libraries have or have access, so a request for Gloucestershire - V is the first place to look. It will give you an idea how many Vaughan families were about and where they lived.
