Hi Lisa,

Were you asking about the pronunciation at one point?

I just found the same Vaux family in Birmingham as Faulks, Folks, Folkes and Faux depending on the census or the BMD. That gives you an idea.

Rose

Sylvia,

That's a different Ada Vaux.

Here are the two births:

Births Dec 1867
Vaux Ada Leeds 9b 485

Births Mar 1869

Janet needs the second one.

Hi Janet:

My direct ancestor was a Vaus. My Vaus/Vaux families lived in Sussex in the 1700's and Surrey in the 1800's (direct ancestor was in Canada in 1857).

Our spellings vary from Vaux (according to family lore, how it was originally spelled), most commonly Vaus, and in one case, the earliest recording I can find, Vous.

If you are having trouble finding family, they may have changed it, or been recorded as Vaus. Also, Vaus is commonly mistranscribed as Vans. Hope all of this makes sense! :)

PS Some of my distant rellies have found family in England in the late 1800's with Vause spelling

Hi Jan,

Just thought I would give it a go, this popped up on the 1881, as you say worth a try anyway!!

Betty

Hi "betty"!
his is very interesting, thank you. My Ada - by this time married to Hugh Lewis - is down as being born in Birmingham. I'm never quite sure how liberal to be with the information on the census reports! I guess the marriage certificate will be very helpful now!

Fair enough.
Jan

You would have a better chance of finding a mistranscription if you had an idea of the name of one of the parents.

Claire, I do know what you mean and I have ordered same. However, I thought that if her name has been mis-transcribed then maybe all the family has, so I still won't find them.
Thanks for replying!
Jan

I know this is very specific. but we have come across an Ada Vaux in our family. She has a birth and marriage record, but does not appear under this name in the census reports. She was born in Birmingham about 1869 and married 1889, so it is the 1871 and 1881 census reports I am looking at. It is an unusual name so I wonder if anyone has any ideas? (I have posted on the Vaux board, thought I'd widen my search!)
Thanks!
Jan
