- Mary Ann was the daughter of John Mylrea and Margaret Barrie als Brew
- She was a widow, after the death of her husband in 1900
- This contract for the sale of the Wellington Square dwelling was the last involving the Douglas dwellings named in John Mylrea's 1887 will
- All of those Douglas dwellings involved multiple entitlements because John Mylrea had married a widow with children from her first marriage. However, over time Mary Ann bought out the other "owners" namely her step sister, Elizabeth Corlett, and her brother John Mylrea
- The Wellinton Square dwelling had been purchased by Robert Barrie, the first husband of Mary Ann's mother.Barried paid £120 in 1840, almost 100 years prior to this current sale
- Tohave 100% ownership of the property, Mary Ann was obliged to purchase her brother's quarter share in 1902 and her step sister's half share in 1905, the latter receiving £75. She subsequently mortgaged the property to Dan Cannan
