[Surname] French surname - VAUN
Good morning,I'm interested in the meaning of the surname of VAUN and where in France it may be popular. Also I wish to know how it was pronounced. Is the 'n' silent?I have an ancestor who was born in France around 1843, unknown where in France, who emigrated to England (unknown when).I do not know his religion but he married an english widow in Kent - Church of England (1880) and was buried in a Church of England cemetery in Essex.He could write and his signature was legible. His children also used the surname of VAUN.All 3 Census (1881, 1891 & 1901) all state he was born in France.Thank you.
