Notes - Thomas Angus/Angious (III) was born in 1811 in the settlement of Bulk, near Quernmore, in rural Lancaster, Lancashire, England. At his birth, his surname was written as Angious. His mother died a year later. There's no indication that his father remarried afterwards.
Thomas is believed to have married ABT 1835 to Mary Ann Atkinson b: 1818 in Keighley, Yorkshire, England, although no record of their marriage has been found. Mary Ann's surname is not recorded in census records, however the fact that their eldest son is named Thomas Atkinson Angus and that he sometimes identifies as Thomas Angus Atkinson, suggests that her surname was likely Atkinson. Census records show Mary Ann as being born in Keighley, Yorkshire, England. A matching Mary Ann Atkinson, who is the right age, can be found born in Keighley, Bradford, Yorkshire, England to parents Benjamin Atkinson and Susanna Pearson.
Her father, Benjamin Atkinson, owned Prospect House on Chapel Lane in Keighley, Yorkshire, England. He was a tailor and draper and employer of four. The house is currently listed for £530,000 (2023).
The fact that she came from a landed family, yet no record of their marriage has been found, and they didn't name any of their children after her parents, may suggest that they married against her parents' wishes, or never married at all.
In 1939, at age 28, Thomas' only surviving sister died.
In 1841, at age 25 (sic), Thomas Angus was residing at Black Cat Yarn near St. Leonard's Gate in Lancaster, Lancashire, England, with his wife, Mary, and their first two children, Thomas (IV) and Margaret. Thomas was employed as an agricultural labourer. Mary was not employed. Her birth was given as outside Lancashire. Thomas' elderly widowed father, Thomas Angus, III, was residing with them. Black Cat Yarn is not found on any maps and is presumed to be the name of a yarn factory with residential apartments located near St. Leonard's Gate.
In 1851, at age 40, Thomas Angus was residing at Wood Street in Castle Ward, Lancaster, Lancashire, England, with his wife and children. He was employed as an agricultural labourer.
In most cases, Thomas' children were employed in the cotton mills by age 12.
In 1861, at age 47 (sic, 50), Thomas Angus was residing at Back Castle Street in Castle Ward, Lancaster, Lancashire, England, with his wife and children. He was employed as a labourer.
In 1871, at age 45 (sic, 60), Thomas Angus was residing at 94 St. Leonard's Gate in Castle Ward, Lancaster, Lancashire, England, with his wife and children. He was employed as an agricultural labourer.
In 1873, when Thomas was 61 years old, his wife Mary Ann died.
Thomas was still alive at the time of his son Josephs' marriage on 27 Dec 1879, but he has not been found in the 1881 census, which was conducted on 3 Apr 1881. His daughters, Margaret and Mary Ann were residing in his house without him in 1881 and he was not residing with any of his other adult children. No death record has been found for him. He is presumed to have died between between 27 Dec 1879-3 Apr 1881.
