I have Sir Thomas John Angell as my 12th great-grandfather. He was born 1509 in Peakirk, Northamptonshire, England and died 14 October 1581 in Wiltshire.  His father was Capt Robert de Angelli but changed his surname to Angell apparently as King Henry VIII was all about "Anglicising" not only the church but people and all,  Thomas Angell's mother was Lady Joan Purser. Sir Thomas was married in 1542 to Lady Alice Harbye and they had three sons, John, James, and William [William being my 11th great-grandfather]. Hope this is useful to you

There is a distinct lack ofsources on the profiles. The family appears in the Visitation of London p18-20 https://archive.org/details/visitationoflond01stge/page/n30 They didn't have titles though.
