A few years ago, I was researching the VAUX family as my gt.gt.gt... Grandmother was Margaret Vaux (Who married into the TEMPERLEY family) who is linked into the VAUX brewing family. I have a transcript of the Corder Vaux pages somewhere, that I made myself from the library. It's always puzzled me how Cuthbert Vaux was the founder of the brewery, and the brewery was started in 1806 (As per beer mats and a vaux mirror I have), but Cuthbert Vaux was actually born 1813?? Is this just a mistake from history that was never corrected? Would be interested to know what else Lancelot Barron has in his collection of Vaux bits and pieces?

Unfortunately that collection, compiled in the early 20th century, has never been published but they are in Sunderland Central Reference Library (Local Studies Dept), Fawcett Street, Sunderland, Tyne and Wear. An enquiry there might produce great results. I am assuming, because of the rarity of the surname locally, that this is the brewing family, or a branch of it. I should probably here mention that because of deterioration of the Corder MSS themselves, through lots of use, they have all been photocopied, and those copies have been bound up like the originals. However, Corder's handwriting was so strange, and made so much more difficult to read by the photocopying, that you might find them very difficult to decipher. Still, it's well worth a try.

In particular, I am interested in Cuthbert and Ernest, who appear to have been born in the 1860s. Any help would be welcomed, David Scott. ..
