Slowhands, thank you for your help in this matter, yes you had located Julia Hewlett marrying William Henry Vaughan.

It was Julia's movements in America that I have been unable to trace. I have used the Ancestry Professional and managed to identify Julia's daughter as marrying Berlington Frazier in Baden Beaver County USA I also know that William Henry Vaughan returned to England. I just cannot find anything for Julia. I wonder if she re-married she could be out there under another name? I will keep looking.

I will check out the Male Hewlett born before Julia and William were married?

I'll look out for your William shown as 19 months on the 1881 census i.e. on 3rd April 1881 - so he was born Sept / Oct 1879 (!)

so I wonder if he is recorded as :-

Name: Male Hewlett

Quarter of Registration: Oct-Nov-Dec
District: Ross
County: Gloucestershire, Herefordshire, Hereford and Worcester
Volume: 6a
Page: 481

Hello Slowhands - thank you for the thread, I have amassed a lot of knowledge since we put the original query together. I have had a great deal of help from Jean, Tanith and Dewey. But we are still stuck on Willie Vaughan, and indeed his Mother Julia, we have found information through Ancestry American Census on her Daughter Jewel but no information on the other children and in particular Willie.

Willie Vaughan age 2 in 1881 Census

Barbara Lloyd — Thu, 17 Jan 2008 08:09:58 +0000

William Henry Vaughan married Julia Hewlett on the 4th May 1880

the marriage is recorded in Drybrook records.

I cannot find a baptism for their 1st son Willie.

The family travelled to America and as far as I know Julia remained in America.
More Children were born in America but William Henry Vaughan came home
to England with two of the Children, Bertram Cuthbert and Fanny Louise.

Family tales say Willie Vaughan died - he was shot in the stomach, but this was an accident.

There is talk that this incident might have happened in Canada and I can't find any records about it. But comment has also been made that it may have happened in England.

Can anyone help please?
