Hi Julie,
We have some Vauxs here in Australia but they dont sound like the ones you are referring to.I still thought I'd let you know what I've got just in case.
Our Vauxs were located in South Petherton, Somerset, England.The name Vaux has been traced back to 1653 in this area (by others).In 1853 James Vaux was born to Joseph Vaux/Harriet Gale in South Petherton.James Vaux married Mary A Jenkins in Sydney in 1881 and gave birth to a daughter called Charlotte in 1889.(I think there may have been other children born in Sydney called James, Edith, Alice, Richard H, Charles, Harriet & Amy - but this is from an unconfirmed source.)We dont know when they came across to Australia.
If any of it rings a bell please let me know.
Regards,
Justine Kinkade
Sydney, Australia
