WILLIAM ANGELL #901 born 1861 at Unley in South Australia, worked as a labourer at Kew cemetery. He married BARBARA ELLEN RHODES (Pictured) #900 who was born 1865 at West Melbourne (daughter of John Rhodes #2501 and Ellen (nee Punch) #2500). William died 7th August 1908, Barbara died 25th August 1947. Both are buried at Kew (Compartment No A730)

Family tradition has it that William walked with his parents
from South Australia to Melbourne
after they lost everything in the "Black Friday" bush fires. The date of birth of the first Kew child would seem to indicate that he was between 3 and 4 years old at the time.

On the left is William Angell #901, born 1861.
He is known to have been a sensitive and romantic man
with an interest in alternative medicine and healing.
He used to send the children out into the paddocks
of Kew to collect plants and herbs. Their children:

An Internet friend BERYL ANGELL got in touch with me through GENFORUM. She is currently making a detailed study of the Angell, Calne ancestry. If you are of that line and want more information, she is willing to be contacted. CLICK HERE to email her.

William Angell married Mary Ann Ford on 12th February 1827.
Their children were:
Harriet born/baptized 29.7.1827
William born 1st july 1831 (baptized 1832)
George born born/baptized 19.2.1837
Ann born 1838
Mary born/baptized 20.9.1840
Robert born/baptized 29.7.1842

In 1851 Census - living at 38 Frog Lane, Calne were:
William , Head of household, age 53, Agricultural Labourer, born Calne
Mary Ann, wife, age 51, born Calne
William, son, age 18, Ag. Lab, born Calne
George, son, age 16, Apprentice born Calne
Ann, daughter, age 13, born Calne*
Mary Ann, daughter, age 12, Scholar, born Calne
Robert, son, age 9, Scholar, born Calne.

There is no mention of a John Angell in this census, it this might indicate that he died in childhood.
*Ann was not going to school, so she may have been suffering from some form of incapacity. She is omitted some lists.
The 1861 Census was as follows -
Still living at 38 Frog Lane, Calne -
William Angel - Head of household - Married - age 63 - Agri. Lab. - born Calne
(This entry was crossed through suggesting that William might have died around the time of the Census)
Mary Angel - Wife - Married -age 61 - born Calne
George Angel - Son - Unmarried - age 26 - Agri. Lab. - born Calne
Mary Angel - Daughter - Unmarried - age 20 - born Calne
Robert Angel - Son - Unmarried - age 18 - Ap. Shoemaker - born Calne

The eldest son William is not mentioned in the 1861 census, and this fits in with him having sailed for Australia in 1851, soon after the first census was taken. He retained the double "LL" spelling of the surname. In any case it is possible that the census taker in 1861 merely spelled the name wrongly.
