This looks hopeful: Births Jun 1892 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Vaughan Frederick Thomas Pontypridd 11a 605 Merry

Sorry everyone I thing I might have been having a Sunday evening blonde moment there, I think you may all be right, but is Pentre where he was born and if so would that be short for Pontypridd. Now the only problem Im having is tracing the Morgans.

It was John Vaughan's mother in law who was Ann Bowe, not Fred's!: 1901 Anne Bowe abt 1821 Hinckley, Somerset, England Mother-in-law Ystradyfodwg Glamorgan Christopher Vaughan abt 1898 Pentre, Glamorgan, Wales Son Ystradyfodwg Glamorgan Elizabeth M Vaughan abt 1901 Pentre, Glamorgan, Wales Daughter Ystradyfodwg Glamorgan Frederick T Vaughan abt 1893 Pentre, Glamorgan, Wales Son Ystradyfodwg Glamorgan John Vaughan abt 1857 Brecon, Breconshire, Wales Head Ystradyfodwg Glamorgan John D Vaughan abt 1885 Pentre, Glamorgan, Wales Son Ystradyfodwg Glamorgan Samuel Vaughan abt 1891 Pentre, Glamorgan, Wales Son Ystradyfodwg Glamorgan Sarah Vaughan abt 1862 Hinckley, Somerset, England Wife Ystradyfodwg Glamorgan Sarah A Vaughan abt 1888 Pentre, Glamorgan, Wales Daughter Ystradyfodwg Glamorgan William A Vaughan abt 1895 Pentre, Glamorgan, Wales Son Ystradyfodwg Glamorgan Merry

Well the census record that included Ann Bowe is the only one for a Frederick Vaughan with the correct parental forenames. Are you sure Bowe and Vow have not been mixed up, as they rhyme? Here's the marriage: Marriages Jun 1883 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bowe Sarah Pontypridd 11a 636 GRIFFITHS William Pontypridd 11a 636 Jones Ann Pontypridd 11a 636 Vaughan John Pontypridd 11a 636 Merry

No Im afraid not

have you got occupations for any of them?

Sara Vow was pronounced to me in a eightysomething welsh acsent down the phone, so although Im very certain I might not be 100% as Im english not welsh. Many thanks for taking up the challange thou Penni

to start with to get an idea of who and what etc , i looked for the VOW marriage and zilch!

may I , then i'll look Hi All, Im having a real challenge trying to trace my great g. Grandparents in the 1901 census. Here are the details I have, unfortunatly its not much to go on; Frederick Vaughan Born 1892 Pontypridd, Mid Gamorgan, His parents were John Vaughan and Sara Vow not sure when they were born possibly C1870 I Belive them to still be in the Mid Glamorgan area. Also Susannah Morgan Born 1895 Merthyr Tydfil, Mid Glamorgan. Her parents were Rachel Lewis and a J Morgan (could possibly be Joshua or something similer in Welsh) again not sure of when they were born. Sheila Roberts has kindly tried but I do not belive that this is them She found a Frederick Vaughan with a mother-in-law called Anne Bowe abt 1821, but I know she was called Sara Vow as my great aunt told me this infomation. I am taking a big guess at the ages for both sets of parents as I can not find them. Once again if anyone can help I would be very greatfull Many thanks Penni
