exactly! Though Philip was married in Southwark in 1863 and if his mother was not present he must have given the info on the certificate from memory, some 15 years after his father's death. Maybe he was called George by the family but christened William, or the other way round, maybe Sarah called him William but he was christened George. What I would dearly love to know is where William/George and Sarah were married, if they were CoE it should have been St Phillips church and unfortunately there birth records were destroyed by bombing in WWII, but I don't know about the marriage records. In short I am no nearer to finding where Philip's father was born and therefore from which set of Vaughan's he was descended.
as for the Mapstone connection, there is a James and Ann Mapstone living in Wade st( next to Little Ann st) on the 1841 census with a son Thomas who is doing a carpenters apprenticeship in Ubley in Sommerset on the 1851 census, which is a possible for Sarah's family if and when I can find their marriage details.
