Notes - William Angus/Angious was born in 1773 and was baptized on 30 May 1773 in St Mary, Lancaster, Lancashire, England as the son of Thomas Angus in Quarmore (Quernmore).
On 6 Apr 1807, William Angious of Bulk, a husbandman*, and Ann Wheeler of Skerton, a widow, were married in St. Mary's, Lancaster, Lancashire, England. As Ann is listed as a widow, it is presumed that Wheeler was her married name. Her birth surname is unknown. The marriage was witnessed by Thomas Braithwaite and Betty ~yers (Dwyers, Myers?). The bride, groom and witnesses all signed with their marks.
[*A husbandman was someone who looked after animals, but in Northern England the term was also used to refer to a tenant farmer.]
(The fact that Ann was a widow would suggest she likely had children from her first marriage. This might explain why William and Ann only had two (known) children together.)
Later that same year, on 31 Dec 1807, William Angious was a witness to his brother John's marriage and was employed as a husbandman at the time.
William and Ann had two known sons, Thomas and James. It's possible that they may have had more for whom records have not been found. It's possible that Ann may have died after having only two children. If so, it's possible that William may have remarried and had more children with another wife that we don't know about.
William Angus died in 1840 at age 67 prior to the first census in 1841 so we are unable to glean further information about him from the census.
