NOTES

  1. Daniel Mylrea was the son of Thomas Mylrea & Rose Savage, baptised Peel 1750
  2. His was the Deemster/Archdeacon/MHK/ Attorney General line of Mylreas; Dollough estate
  3. Daniel's father died in 1759 and Daniel received a significant inheritance at the time
  4. His bachelor uncle (Daniel the Deemster) died 1775, leaving Daniel his main beneficiary. The legacy was largely the heriditary Mylrea estate which Daniel sold at this time, returning about £3,000, ending Mylrea ownership of the fabled Dollough, occupied by the Mylrea clan since records began
  5. Daniel was a bigamist, and this sale naming Elizabeth as his wife while legally sound, but meant that the woman who was the mother of Daniel's children was not his lawful wife even though they had married in a church. Daniel married Elizabeth Proctor in 1795, and Mary Bosely in 1796. Elizabeth was clearly still alive in 1803 and indeed was still alive in 1822 when she applied for Daniel's army pension after he had died.
