Anglès Family Found:

The Anglès family is one of the important lineages of Catalan puppetry.
Jaume Anglès i Pallejà (1857-1919) was an image maker (he carved sculptures of saints for churches); at the root of this activity, his son Jaume Anglès i Vilaplana (1888-1945) started in the stage art of puppetry, around 1902 after having learned from the puppeteer Juli Pi. His son Jaume Anglès i Guzmán also continued the family business and then his two sons Jaume and Josep Anglès i Vergara.
