Additional Notes:
His son, William, mentioned a sister, Jygg, and brothers: William & John Augell/Angel,in his will in 1595. It is possible that Agnes remarried again to a Mr. Awgell/Angel and William, John & Jygg were children of that marriage. Jygg was likely a surname of her daughter. Or possibly, William and John were brother-in-laws.
