Who said that Smeagol and Deagol were Old English titles for Cain and Abel?

Regardless of who said it, it doesn't appear to be correct. Smeagol was derived from OE smygel, which means "burrow" and Deagol came from OE diegol, which means "secretive."
It's just barely possible that there could be a multilingual pun going on here... HVL ("Abel") is a root that literally means "breath" but is also used in the context of "elusive," which is at least vaguely like "secretive." "Burrow" remains a mystery, though, since it doesn't appear to be all that close to any reasonable etymology for QYN ("Cain").
