Hi there Robert
Your mention of Stockwell mean's that your ancestors were aware of the Angell Millions.
The last of this line of Angells (John 1700-1784)lived at Stockwell and his grandfather Justinian had acquired much of the land in the area through his marriage to Elizabeth Scaldwell.
In this John Angell's will he stipulated that all of his money should go to any descendant in the male line from William Angell (1560c-1629). As a result everyone with the name Angell in Britain wondered if it was them. If no one was found then the money was to go the descendants of Frances Angell (b.1666) who had married a Benedict Browne and these Brownes would have to change their name to Angell to inherit.
