• Notes

  On 1 Jan 1786, William Angus was born in Quarmore (Quernmore), Lancashire, England. His birth registration indicates that he was the illegitimate child of Mary Angus, a poor woman. On 15 May 1826, at age 40, William Angus is believed to have married in Fewston, Yorkshire, England to Mary Ann Martin. This marriage is not confirmed. Fewston is about 80 km (50 mi.) east of Quernmore/Quarmore, Lancashire. The bride and groom were recorded as both being "of this parish." In 1841, at age 50, William Angus was residing on Nelson Street in Otley, Yorkshire, England with his wife Mary Ann and their children, Margaret, John, William, Jane, Mary Ann, and Ellen. William was employed as a stonewaller and born outside the county. Otley is about 5 km (3 mi.) south of Fewston. In 1851, at age 70, William Angus was residing at 38 Craven Street in Bradford, Yorkshire, England (about 15 km south of Otley), with his wife Mary Ann, who was born in Durham City, and their children, John, William, Jane, Maryann, Ellen and James. William was employed as a day stonewaller and born in Wannerpark, Lancashire, England. Bradford is about 15 km south of Otley. No such place as Wannerpark has been found. As this is a census record, the name would be based on the recollection of the person giving the census data and recorded as best the enumerator could understand it. Thus, it's believed to be a corruption of Quarmore. There is no other contemporary William Angus in Lancashire known to exist who could be a match for the William Angus in Yorkshire. DNA would not be helpful as his father is unknown and his mother is too old for autosomal DNA to provide reliable matching data. On 14 Dec 1852, at age 68, William Angus was buried in St. Peter's Cathedral yard, in Bradford, Yorkshire, England. His estimated birth was 1784. In 1861, his widow, Mary Ann, was residing at 19 Beer House, Wapping Road, in Bradford, Yorkshire, England, with her children Ellen and James. They were residing next door to John Crowther.
