Hello Carole I've just read your comments. I wonder if most Voses mentioned so far being in USA is perhaps because people in US generally tend to be more curious/active than their UK counterparts re geneological stuff? I googled 'Vose' out of curiosity (for some reason had vaguely assumed a 'French Connection' purely on linguistic grounds (?))since my maternal grandma's maiden name was Vose (she married and became a Dougherty; I was also told by my ma that an earlier ancestor on her side was a Mary Williamson from the county of Fife in Scotland). My grandmother and my ma (one of her daughters)lived in County Durham (coalmining/shipfitter Catholic folk, it seems). I think you mentioned Voses connected to you haling from the north-west of England - but not so very far from the north-east, I guess. I live in Birmingham, England, currently under the surname Trevallion. Take care and best wishes, Michael
