Has anyone any connection with Brewood, Staffs? My ancestor George Vaughton appeared in Barnsley, Yorkshire in 1775 as a wire maker when he married Sarah Ellis. There were no other Vaughton's in the area. The only baptism I can find is in Brewood, Staffordshire to Thomas and Beatrice Vaughton in 1753. I visited Brewood and found graves for Thomas & Beatrice and 3 sons, but not George, (and no burial recorded in the PRs), which suggests that he may have left the area. Thomas died intestate and his estate was administered by his eldest son, also Thomas. - no mention of George or his other children. I can't find any reason why George would have gone to Barnsley from Brewood aged 19 and can't prove a link to Brewood. I would be very grateful for ideas!
