William Henry Vaughan died 20th April 1859 age 35 - a sudden death. In the 1841 Census there is an entry for a William Henry Vaughan as a patient in Bristol Infirmary, he was age 15 at the time.

William had married Mary Ann Owen from Caldecott. They had 3 Children
Mary Ann, Sarah Ann and William Henry Vaughan. Mary Ann remarried one Alfred Nicholas and had more Children and in time moved back to Cinderford. Some of these children also emigrated to America.

William Henry Vaughan was my Great Grandfather, he married Julia Hewlett daughter of Samuel Hewlett of Bradley Hill, and they went to America. Julia stayed in America and we are still looking and trying to trace her movements. I have identified her daughter Jewel's marriage to one Burrell Frazier.

William Henry returned to England and re-marries Eva Jones and we pick the family up again in the 1901 Census. One William and Julia's children born in Illionis was Fanny Louisa Vaughan she married my Grandfather Frank Burt from Somerset.

and I could go on.

So much information and so much more to find out. So if anyone can fill in some gaps it would be much appreciated.

Ann may be Ann PERRY ( there is a marriage around 1682 that starts to fit)

Reading this seemed to link in with ....

48/21 Ruardean - 1812/13 - Fine (or Final Concord) made at Westminster in 52nd year of reign of George III, recording sale of property by John and Elizabeth Bennett, George and Mary Ferrett to Joseph Harper.
Written on parchment. £18

http://www.ancestordocs.co.uk/Gloucestershire.htm

It may be that if John Bennett died in 1811 his son sold his property in 1812/13. I guess that Mary Ferrett may have been the daughter/ sister ?

Also at the same web site I saw...

48/22 Ruardean - 1809/10 - Fine (or Final Concord) made at Westminster in 49th year of reign of George III, recording sale of property by William and Hannah Jemima Vaughan to John and Mary Jones .
Matching purchasers and sellers copies on parchment. £36

Hope this helps someone.
