NOTES

  1. Fildraw
  2. John McYlrea was the eldest son of Thomas McYlrea & Margaret Gellin. He was born in Malew 1659, and was heir to the family's Fildraw estate
  3. He married Elizabeth Shimmin in 1686. They had six children : Elizabeth (married Thomas Norris) b1686, Charles (married Margaret Kewley?) b1687, Thomas (married Jony Kinley) b1689, Ann (married Thomas Cain) b1694, Cath (unmarried) b1697, Isable (married Thomas Quackin, Robert Shimmin) b1701
  4. This mortgage of Fildraw land was the first of two takenin the years immediately following John's fathers death in 1711. It was "returned" to the McYlrea family a month later when the daughter of Thomas Kinley married the son of John McYlrea and the Thomas Kinley gave the mortgage into the young couple's Marriage Contract
  5. In the 1720s, John went on to sell off parts of Fildraw, claiming financial pressures
  6. In coming years, Charles and his son Charles jnr mortgaged or sold off more pieces of Fildraw
  7. The sons of his second son, Thomas, fared better
  8. There is much about the Malew Mylreas of the 1600s and early 1700s that does not hang together so extreme caution must be exercised
