In "Vaughan" it's silent, as stated in the answer above, that is, it's like "vorn" (provided you don't try to introduce a sound for the "r").
"Laughlin" depends. If you're American, it could be anything (!), but the "correct" way would be like the final sound in Scottish "loch". If we let [x] stand for the "ch" in "loch", it would therefore be: loxlin.

Wow, being an English speaker from birth, I never realized how hard it must be to learn this language. Those are part of the MANY sounds you have to MEMORIZE. There isn't too many rules for gh. If you thought about it, tough it out.

The "gh" is silent, as it is in although (pronounced like "altho").
