NOTES

  1. Fildraw
  2. Charles was the oldest son of John Mylrea & Elizabeth Shimmin, baptised 1687 and thus heir to the Fildraw estate
  3. His siblings: 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?; their children born in Malew - Charles jnr 1718, Elizabeth (1721-1725), John 1726, William (1728-1748)
  5. This is the second mortgage that Charles snr took out in an many years. He had previously sold a large piece of Fildraw for £40
  6. This mortgage was not settled in the requisite time frame and it was Charles's son, Charles jnr, who paid out the debt in 1739
  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
