NOTES

  1. Fildraw
  2. Charles McYlrea snr was the oldest son of John Mcylrea & Elizabeth Shimmin, baptised 1687 in Malew and heir to the Fildraw estate
  3. His siblings were Elizabeth (married Thomas Norris) b1686, Thomas (married Jony Kinley) b1689, Ann (married Thomas Cain) b1694, Cath (unmarried) b1697, Isable (married Thomas Quackin, Robert Shimmin) b1701
  4. Charles's wife was Margaret Kewley?; children born in Malew - Charles jnr baptised 1718, Elizabeth (1721-1725), John 1726, William (1728-1748)
  5. Only Charles jnr survived
  6. In this Deed, Charles snr & Margaret are promising their son and heir they will not mortgage or sell parts of Fildraw, but in three successive years (1728, 1729, 1730) they had already sold and mortgaged three fields. The mortgage taken out in 1730 was not cancelled until 1739 when Charles jnr took a mortgage over another three fields in order to extinguish the 1730 debt
  7. There is much about the Malew Mylreas of the 1600s and early 1700s that does not hang together so extreme caution must be exercised
  8. For further insights into the Malew Mylreas, please refer to Mylreas in Ballaquaile and Fildraw
