Vera...There was a John Angell who was Chaplain to Queen Mary I (Bloody Mary), but the the information I have states that the COAT-OF-ARMS was awarded to a Roger Angell in 1485 for distinguished service in the battle of Bosworth Field.

Your comment about an award for "service" to a royal person just might be fun to chase down. I'm going to continue to presume that there was only the one Coat of Arms for Angells in England.

I am vaguely aware that there is also a coat of arms for the name Angell in Germany, but it is different from ours. Spelling might also be Engel for the Germans, also.

Do some GOOGLE work on Angell Coat of Arms, etc. and see what you might discover. I'm working on a project to locate burial sites...both here and in England...that is keeping my feeble mind busy.
