NOTES
- Cronk Urleigh
- Mary Ann was the daughter of John Mylrea and Margaret Barrie als Brew
- She married John Corkhill Watterson Cowley in 1891. He was a school teacher but had been a theology student when they met
- This contract is for the purchase of the premises at 27 Barrack St in Douglas, one of four properties mentioned in the 1887 will of John Mylrea but the sale subject to a Court Order for permission to sell because John, one of the owners, was severely disabled and the Courts had to approve any disposal of his assets
- How these four dwellings came into the possession of John Mylrea (father of Mary Ann and John, and step father of Elizabeth) is not clear but it is most likely that they came via his wife Margaret Mylrea als Barrie als Brew
- The curious aspect of this purchase is that Mary Ann had sold the property two months previously, and having purchased it, sold it to Thomas Kewley the same day - all at the same price originally tendered at the auction
