Thanks Jefff - more information than I expected!
I uploaded the mortgage documents onto the FOD website some time ago.
I have a photo of the front of Rock Cottage dated from around 1900. The house has been extensively re-built in the 80's and nineties, but the front of the house is still recognisable - even the front wall, fence and gate remain. My picture is a "photo of a photo" shown to me by the present owner of Rock Cottage, and was given to him by a relation of my grandmother, about ten years ago. He has promised me a scan of his photo, which would be better than my version, and I'll ask him if he will give permission for it to be uploaded onto the FOD site. Incidentally, the photo includes four people standing in front of the house, a middle-aged man, a more elderly woman, a younger woman and a young girl. I'm assuming at this stage that the man is the Timothy Jones Vaughan mentioned in the mortgage documents, and if that's the case, the elderly woman would be his mother, Charlotte Vaughan, my ggg grandmother.
My family seems to have been associated with at least two cottages on Joyford Hill - Rock Cottage and Boiling Well Cottage (since demolished).

Thanks for your great input.
