NOTES

  1. Cronk Urleigh
  2. Mary Ann was the daughter of John Mylrea and Margaret Barrie als Brew
  3. This sale marks the final act in a three part land transaction - 1879 John Mylrea loaned £80 to Elizabeth Cleator; 1891 Mary Ann Mylrea took the lands back as part of her role as her father's executor ; 1911 Mary Ann sold the lands to the Corletts
  4. Elizabeth Cleator probably died in 1884, having settled on Ann Kerruish in 1880 as part of her will. Mary Ann must have called in the debt as her father's executrix and as a result, received the lands that Elizabeth Cleator had offered as security and then settled in Ann Kerruish
  5. Mary Ann sold the lands in 1911 for £67/10/-
