Vaus/e Crick
« on: Wednesday 21 June 17 02:53 BST (UK) »
I am wondering if anyone can help me with some info on the Vaus/e family of Crick.
I have James Vaus/e baptised 13 Dec 1684 Crick. Lots of others have put his father as Thomas Vaus/e born 1614 Crick. I am thinking this is highly unlikely to be correct as he would have been 70 when his child was born.

I have info on earlier lines but seem to have a  bit missing in the middle.
If anyone can help with this I would be grateful.

Hi,

Just looking at the PR's for Crick.

James is actually baptised 1685, the year changes halfway down the page.

There are also other Vaux/ Vause, children of Thomas & Elizabeth : Ann 1676, Thomas 1677/8, John 1679/80, William 1681, Jonas 1687, Moses 1689, Abraham 1694, Elizabeth 1698

Marriage is likely to be 1674 - 1676 period, and Thomas was probably born round about 1650, give or take a few years. Crick PR's have a 6 year gap from 1644 - 1650, due to the Civil War. Crick is just 8 miles from Naseby, where the Battle of Naseby took place in 1645. Just two hours walk away. The level of upheaval locally reflected in the lack of a parish register.

So yes, you probably do have a "bit missing in the middle". Thomas was probably born during this time of immense fear, upheaval, and uncertainty.

There were two baptisms in the 1650's, John born 1653 to Thomas & Alice, and Mary born 1650 to William & Elizabeth. It is possible that one of these families was Thomas's, but it may well prove impossible to say which.

Re. PC's last paragraph in the previous posting, it may be worth tracing the lineage of both Thomas (married to Alice) and William (married to Elizabeth).  With a pretty unusual surname, there's a possibility that they may be brothers or first cousins.

The Will of a John Lee of Kilsby, weaver, proved 1727 records his daughter as Elizabeth Voss, but maybe Vaus.
