Thanks for taking the time to look. The name just seems to appear out of the blue in London, so maybe and anglicised version or misspelling as you say. Some have even said that it may have been Van Gogh, but I have heard that is not pronounced in the same way in it's native language.

Further to this re the Vango family, does anyone know if many weavers in Spitalfields were from Norway.
Browsing though old newspapers I found a report of a landslide in the Parish of Vango in Christiania (now Oslo).  Now I'm wondering if the Vango line came from there,and if the  name was habitational in origin.

Unfortunately no information on Bartholemew Vango on the Huguenots of Spitalfields site, just his name.

If you change your search on Ancestry to France, you will see that there are many Vango families listed.
