NOTES

  1. Fildraw
  2. Charles jnr was the only surviving son born to Charles McYlrea snr & Margaret (als Kewley?)
  3. He married Mary Bell als Bridson c1736; five children Charles (1738-1741), John (1740), Robert (1742), William (1746), Thomas (1750)
  4. Mary died 1782; Charles jnr 1792. Son Charles died in infancy and nothing further is known about the other sons
  5. This sale was probably prompted by Charles's inability to service earlier mortgages to Matthew Taubman. With this sale, Charles disposed of a another substantial part of Fildraw, compounded originally by his great grandfather in 1666
  6. There is much about the Malew Mylreas of the 1600s and early 1700s that does not hang together so extreme caution must be exercised
  7. For further insights into the Malew Mylreas, please refer to Mylreas in Ballaquaile and Fildraw
