Hi Richard,

I have information on the family of Andrew Vaughan b1831 Hewelsfield, son of William Vaughan b1796 Hewelsfield and May Ann Evans b1796 Tidenham.

Is this the family you are looking for? If so I would be happy to share information.

Helen

Hi, I have just joined this forum.
So I will introduce myself. My mother was Margaret Trott, and I am researching her family, 'the Vaughans' who lived in the Hewelsfield area.

Hi Richard, welcome to this great forum & website.

For starters, from the free GlosBMD site, is this your mother ?

Marriage Details
Number of entries matching criteria entered: 1
Groom Surname Groom Forename Bride Surname Bride Forename District Parish Building Year Register Entry
ASHBY Robert Edward Stannard TROTT Margaret Eva Forest of Dean Hewelsfield St Mary Magdalene 1951 4 19
http://ww3.gloucestershire.gov.uk/bmd/SimpleSearch.aspx

But cannot find any more obvious leads on this site, as indeed I cannot on the FOD PRs. This is possibly because it's recent history so records are not released for confidentiality reasons, hence as said earlier more names & dates would he a great help please.

Similarly the same record off the FreeBMD site

http://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl

I see this FoDFH site contains some earlier PRs for the ASHBEEs in the Severnside parishes, such spelling variations are not unusual. http://www.forum.forest-of-dean.net/index.php?mode=page&id=2

That said I've searched all the above three sites using variations of spelling for both surnames without managing to take your line further back from the above marriage. I also haven't seen any links (yet) to the Vaughan family, please clarify this, thanks.

Finally as a last effort at hunting the pin in the haystack, using the current free access to the 1911 Census (most recent available), I've tried searching many variations of both the above names in both the 1911 England AND the 1911 Wales Census, but yet again without spotting any clues at all (I'd hoped maybe Stannard, a more unusual name, might help but that seems to be a north country name for example).

Ah well, off out to start the less enjoyable chores now !
Look forward to more clues please.

Hi Dave

I will do over the next week.

Thanks

Richard
