NOTES

  1. Abbey lands
  2. Daymoth – a measure of area, approximately equal to 2 acres Edward Mylrea (jnr) in this contract was the only surviving child of Edward Mylrea & Alice Quayle. His parents both died in 1786, and this contract seems to be selling off what was left of his parent's lands, the remaining daymoth of land that was initially purchased in partnership with Henry Caveen, Edward snr selling off 2/3 of his share just a few months later
  3. Edward Mylrea & Alice Quayle married in Arbory in 1741. Alice had received houses and lands in a Settlement from her mother in 1740; Edward might have been the son of Ellinor Mylrea als Quayle who died in Ballaugh 1733
  4. Edward (jnr) married Susannah Cashen in Malew, and migrated to Peel where they established a new Mylrea dynasty
  5. Susannah had probably been born in Arbory where most of her siblings were born, the children of William Cashen & Susannah Creere
  6. Edward snr mentioned a grandson also named Edward in his 1786 will, and although there is no record of baptism for this child, he was likely to be the Edward Mylrea living in Liverpool and working as a shipwright in the late 1700s
