Thomas Vaughan (born 1850) was Branch President in Witton Park!

 It wasn't a large branch and it didn't last long as many members emigrated to the United States, but it's right there in ink in official records:

LDS CHL CR 375 8 

This is from the Confidential Minutes of the Witton Park Branch in 1884. As a service missionary in the Church History Library, I have staff access to this which is listed as "closed to research." It is possible for others to get access upon a justified request. And I saw nothing of sensitive nature in this record. Anyway, I have it. And there it is in ink!
