If the John and Joan (Laver) Vaux family used the traditional English naming pattern, then
Joan Laver's parents might have been John and Ann. 

I have performed no original research on the Vaux and Laver families in Somerset - this
work was performed by my cousins Sara Anson Vaux (in America) and Hanna Nicholas (in
England), and several other researchers in Somerset.
