Hi Flemming following is an extract from the Radfords book on South Tawton page 77.
On theist now occupied by the Nat Trust Finch Foundry Museum,the two manor mills formerly provided employment in Sticklepath.Their wheels were powered by water from the leat after it left Cleave MILL to run behind the houses and through Hayes and Mill meadows to the next places of production .Operated by John Bowring and JOHN  STANBURY respectively, the manor mills were already well established in the early 19cenury,one as a corn mill, the other a cloth mill.It was the latter that William Finch took over in 1814 as Stanbury's tenant.

Hi, I have studied the family tree of John Angel Fewings from Ashprington, Devon...he is linked via his grandmother, Ann Angell Stanbury, b.1794 in Devon.

Through Ann's mother, Ann Angel, you can go back a fair way through William Angel Esq, Sir Thomas Angell and Captain Robert Angell to his father, Captain Robert De Angeli, Sir Thomas Marcello de Angeli - Baron of Rathwine to his father, Henry de Angele of Anjou b. circa 1400.

Henry was married to Lady Isabella Jamys, whose father was John and her mother, Margery...that's as far as I could go...

Do you mean John Angel Fewings b 13 Jan 1857 in Ashprington, son of William Angel Fewings and Charlotte Gorden?  If so, he is my 1st cousin 4x removed.

His grandmother was Ann Stanbury, bap 1794 in Hatherleigh and her mother was indeed Ann Angel.

I'd be interested to see your connections.  I've only got the Angel line back as far as Maurice Angel, who died in Hatherleigh in 1670.

Hi my tree is not online....but I'll try listing the fathers here and you can follow the chain etc

Ann Angell's father was James Angell b 1714 , whose father was also James b 1693...his father was Morrish b 1665, then came James 1630, John Angell Esq 1592 - member of Parliament who lost his city home in the Great Fire of London, William Angell Esq 1571 - granted a coat of arms - was the yeoman purveyor of fish for Queen Elizabeth, Sir Thomas Angell 1520, Captain Robert Angell 1490 - name was anglicised under Henry VIII rule, Captain Robert De Angeli 1460 - he fought for Henry VII in the Battle of Bosworth during the War of the Roses, Sir Thomas Marcello De Angeli - Baron of Rathwine 1430, Henry de Angele of Anjou - about 1400.

I am an Australian journalist by trade. John Angel Fewings was my great, great grandfather who emigrated to Adelaide, South Australia as a teenager in 1876.

Hope this helps. Cheers, Shaun.

Good to meet you, cousin!  That's a fascinating pedigree you have there.  I'm sad to see we were on the wrong side in the Wars of the Roses!

We seem to differ a bit in the ancestral line.  I have Ann Angel's parents as James 1730 and Margaret Fanson.  Then Henry Angel 1689-1774 and Elizabeth Hawkins; Maurice Angel 1665-1748 and Mary Chapell (we agree there); James Angel 1643-1721 and Mary Lang; lastly Maurice Angel d1670 and wife Margaret.  I haven't been able to get beyond that point, though it's a while since I tried so new sources may be available.

Happy to go to email if you'd like to discuss this further.

All the best, Maureen

Hi there,
The Angell connection to the Crowhurst Surrey family has been around for a while, however it's important to note there is absolutely no supporting proof that it's correct.  There are more local sources that indicate a local origin for the family.
So the Morrish Angell baptised in 1665 at Hatherleigh and who m. Mary Chappell was the son of James Angell and Mary Lange.  This couple married in 1664 at Hatherleigh.  The name Morrish/Maurice is unusual and key to identifying an origin for James.  There are no Angell's in the 1641 Protestation Return for Hatherleigh so they did move in from somewhere else.
There is a baptism for a James Angell in 1642 at Great Torrington (Find My Past parish records) son of Morrishe & Margarett.  This is fairly close to Hatherleigh.  I could not find a marriage and there is only 1 other child baptised, Dorothy in 1640. Morrishe is listed as Morris Angle in the 1641 Protestation Return for Great Torrington.  The Great Torrington church was blown up during the Civil war in 1645/6. It seems likely this Morris was buried at Hatherleigh in 1669.  So sometime between 1642 and 1669 the family moved to Hatherleigh.  In the Bishops Transcripts for Great Torrington I found a baptism for Morris in 1613 son of Pethericke or Patrick Angell and Margaret his wife.  There were 4 more children baptised in Great Torrington. There is a burial for Patrick in 1645/6 and a will index entry at Great Torrington.  I found a baptism for Patrick in 1588 at Monkleigh (borders Hatherleigh) son of Thomas Angell or Anger and Amye his wife. This Thomas is listed in the 1569 Muster Roll at Monkleigh and listed as suppling a Harquebusier (musket).  This would indicate he was relatively well off.  Thomas and Amye married in 1573 at Monkleigh however there was no surname given for her.  They had 2 other children baptised at Monkleigh.  Thomas is buried in 1597 at Great Torrington (Bishops Transcripts).  Thomas would have been born circa 1545 and very few parish records go back that far.  I do have Devon tax records for 1524-1580. 
In summary I believe this is a much more likely origin for our Angell family.
