A Register of the Scholars Admitted Into Merchant Taylor's School ..., Volume 1 By Merchant Taylors' School (London, England), Charles John Robinson (on Googlebooks)

p. 230. the List for 1655-6 lists Angelo Jacobus, only son of Angelo, Greek and merchant, born in Andrew's Holborn, 19 Sept 1644.

Curator's note: I am assuming this date is for the younger Angell, which makes him older than previously believed. If we try to make this date apply to the father, the dates become too tight in between generations.
