NOTES

  1. Cronk Urleigh
  2. John Mylrea was the son of John Mylrea and Isabella Quayle. He was born in 1814 and married Margaret Barrie als Brew in Douglas in 1846
  3. This contract is the only evidence that John Mylrea ever lent funds
  4. When he died in 1887, the mortgage had not been repaid by Elizabeth Cleator (nor was it mentioned in his will)
  5. However, Elizabeth Cleator, in 1880, settled inter alia the mortgaged lands on her daughter, Ann Kerruish (REF March 1881 #36 AND - not transcribed] as part of her will
  6. Mary Ann Cowley als Mylrea claimed the lands back in 1911 (presumably because Ann Kerruish could not afford to repay the debt when Mary Ann called it in as part of her role as her father's executor). Mary Ann sold the lands twenty years later to the Corletts of Ballaugh
