I have some info avail. My link (broken) is a
gfather William V who didn't return from WW2.
We believe he wasn't killed, but ran off with
another woman (!) I have found some other
V info that may/may not be related to me
personally but would love to share.
Earliest I've seen is a Thomas Vousden b1628(!)
in the parish of Horsmonden, trade 'yeoman'
