The Angel was owned freehold by William Sowster (1731 – 1797) who in his will passed the premises on to his son William Sowster (1758 – 1826). (Both left detailed wills). William junior ended up owning several properties in Putney and Roehampton, such that the pub was run by William’s brother John Souster (1765 – approx. 1826) (plenty of records of John in the Surrey Licensed Victuallers listings over the years, certainly up to 1824), to whom the pub was eventually bequeathed on William’s death. *

William Souster (senior) (1731 to 1797) had 3 sons: William, John & Thomas; all were at some stage at the Angel *

William Souster (junior) (1758 to 1826) was the Son of William Souster (senior) *
