  2. Isabel/Elizabeth Caroon married John Mylrea jnr in 1746, Malew; Children: Sarah (1747), John (1749), Kath (1751), Thomas (1754). Castletown List of Householders c1757 shows two sons and two daughters in family and that the family had 1 servant

  4. There is much about the Malew Mylreas of the 1600s and early 1700s that does not hang together so extreme caution must be exercised
