Hi, A question..does John Vaughan have a second name and did he marry, and if so when please. I am looking for you as I've had similar problems locating some of my Irish forebears. For instance QUEENIN was located on BDM NZ as LUCCIN..and for the births of their children, the spellings were QUINNIN, QUINNAN,QUEEMAN, QUENNAN. Can't say that the spelling was the fault of the Registry!

Also "beautiful" copperplate can be very hard to read. And many persons registering may well have been unlettered in those days, and might not have understood the recorder's repeating of the names.
