Thomas, his wife Margaret, their eldest son Thomas (Junior) and second son, George Angus were members of a Tyneside family who ran a printing and publishing business between 1774 and 1825, very important at the time for the Chapbook business.
[1] Following Thomas (senior)'s passing in 1784, his widow Margaret assumed control of the business operations.
By 1800, the enterprise underwent a name change to M. Angus & Son, with Thomas (Junior) joining as a partner until his death in 1808.
Margaret retired[2] in December 1812 and George continued to run the business, changing the name again to G Angus, until his bankruptcy in 1825, when all his stock was auctioned.
Henry Robson and Robert Emery were at one time apprenticed to the Angus family business.
