Site last updated July 25th, 2008
After a lot of thought a decision was made not to include active links to family members who are still living unless specifically requested by that family member. The purpose of this is to protect their privacy where some family members may feel that privacy could be compromised via the internet.
Instead I will include a basic family tree of the families concerned.
If you have any information on the family members from any of the generations shown in the home page menu, I would appreciate a brief "resume" on them so the information can be included on this site thanks. If the family member is still living then I will require written permission to have the "resume" included on this website.
If you, the reader of this site, have any direct connection to any of the names that appear on this site and would like to have some details included of your ancestors then please feel free to contact me and I will endeavour to include that information with your assistance and permission.
If you feel the need to contact me then there is a contact form in the Site Navigation menu where you simply click the link and away you go. Your comments will be emailed to me and I will reply to you as soon as I get a chance to do so.
Thank you for visiting... Rod Angell (site owner)

| Tracing the Family History |
Tracing one's family history is a challenging job when in a lot of cases, without records of any sort to guide you, you need to summise and that is the case with me tracing my own heritage here in Australia.
Through the help of internet user's I have so far been able to piece together a lot of the history but as is nearly always the case, there are a lot of blanks to be filled in and this is where one has to summise what life's journey had for members of their family.
I know the journey of my Great Grandfather (John William Angell) began in Unley in SA where he was born just days after his arrival in Australia. I also know that he left SA and headed to Victoria and then NSW where the first mention of him, using records, was in the township of Menindie NSW, located on the Darling River. I have since been able to trace his movements fairly accurately to Tibooburra NSW.
What I have put together so far on this website is as close to factual that I can ascertain, so I hope it helps you in your own search, if you are conducting one. If you are just visiting, then I hope you find the entire site of interest and enjoy your stop over here.
One interesting aspect of searching the family history with Australia being a Penal Colony in the early days, is, that it is a lot easier to find information of people who were deported for crimes in the UK. The entire line that our family comes from were free settlers and that makes searching a lot harder because detailed records were not kept of free settlers.
The only Angell who I can find that arrived as a prisoner is a James Angell, prisoner #8481 who was deported for the crime of "firing a haystack" and sentenced to 8 years. James arrived in Western Australia aboard the Vimeira in 1865 aged 33 years. Being of the same lineage as the Angell family that we are descendants of and being from Wiltshire, this would make James the son of Robert, William or Jonathon.
