NOTES

  1. Daniel Mylrea was the son of Thomas Mylrea & Rose Savage, and baptised Peel 1750
  2. His was the Deemster/Archdeacon/Attorney General line of Mylreas; Dollough estate
  3. Daniel's father died in 1759 and Daniel received a significant inheritance at the time
  4. Daniel married Leonora Heywood in 1776
  5. His bachelor uncle (Daniel the Deemster) died 1775, leaving Daniel his main beneficiary. Daniel subsequently sold off parts of the Mylrea estate, the Dollough, left to him in 1775 and received about £3,000 from the various purchasers
  6. These sales signalled the end of Mylrea ownership of the fabled Dollough which had been occupied by the Mylrea clan since records began
  7. Evidently there was some omission in previous Deeds recessitating clarification of access for the various purchasers of what essentially became a subdivision of the Dollough Estate
