I wonder whether anyone is researching the Vaux family of Bishopwearmouth? 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.
I'm pretty sure they will be the subject of one of the pedigrees in the Corder MSS. 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.
