Help! Info needed on Joseph Vaughan b. 1886
« on: Wednesday 09 January 08 14:43 GMT (UK) »
Joseph Vaughan, my grandfather.  Born 1886 or 1885.  parents Joseph Vaughan and Sarah Watters.  Not sure where he was born but came from Gateshead to Kippford around 1920 where he married my grandmother.  He died in 1947 and is buried in Colvend Churchyard

I am trying to research my grandfather - Joseph Vaughan, born 1886 (or 85).  He died in 1947 at Kippford in Southern Scotland.
 
He worked as a boiler maker in a shipyard in Gateshead before moving to Kirkcudbrightshire, Scotland where he met and married my grandmother.

His father was also called Joseph Vaughan and his mother was Sarah Watters

Hello Pinkjeans

Welcome to Rootschat  :)

If you know the date of his marriage and his death*, you can get images of the certificates online from www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk. 

It's pay to view but is very reasonable compared to the England & Wales certs. For example, an index search and an image would cost 6 units or £1.20.

It might be worth checking on the UK censuses - 1891-1901 to see if you can locate him.

Regards

Gadget

* I have checked the index for his death cert and it is there - 1947, aged 62, Colvend.

Hi again

I've had a quick look through the 1891 census (Eng) and marriages of his parents but so far can't find a likely family. Also checked the free BMD index for his birth but there are a considerable number:

I hope someone else might be able to come and help as I have to go now.

I wonder if this is Joseph's family in 1891 in Tixall, Staffordshire - maybe you will recognize the middle name initials:

Joseph Vaughan    32, agr. lab., b. Milford, Staffordshire
Sarah A Vaughan 27, b. Newport, Shropshire
Mary A Vaughan    6, b. Gayton, Staffordshire
Joseph T Vaughan 3, b. Littleworth, Staffordshire

Regards.
