NOTES

  1. Abbey lands
  2. The vendor, John Quayle, was the brother of Alice Quayle, who married Edward Mylrea in 1741
  3. Alice Mylrea als Quayle was given houses and lands by her mother in 1740 in exchange for a lifetime of care, which turned out to be just 6 months. Alice married Edward 9 months after her mother's death
  4. The lands included in this particular sale could be the Quayle estate, taken over by John when his father Hugh died in 1740; the lands adjoined lands occupied by Edward in Malew. Early LA place Hugh Quayle on Ballacarmick quarterland (6d rent & 4d rent) & Aristene quarterland (4d rent)
  5. Edward had purchased a tenancy on Abby lands in Malew in 1864 and presumably he and Alice also had the houses and lands gifted to Alice in 1840. There is no surviving record of their sale although the 4d rent on Ballacarmick might have been what her mother settled on Alice, and sold with the other Quayle tenancies in 1778 to John Kneale
  6. Best guess is that Edward Mylrea was the son of Ellinor Mylrea als Quayle who died in Ballaugh 1733
  7. Edward & Alice sold this and other land four years later. This particular Deed of Sale underwent legal corrections in 1782
  8. Edward & Alice had one surviving son, Edward baptised 1744/5. He married Susannah Cashen in Malew, and migrated to Peel before either of his parents had died. There they established a new Mylrea dynasty
  9. Edward's 1786 will mentions a grandson also named Edward who would have been the oldest son of Edward & Susannah, and although there is no record of baptism for this child, he is likely to be the Edward Mylrea living in Liverpool and working as a shipwright in the late 1700s
