NOTES

  1. Patrick Savage would become the father-in-law of Thomas Mylrea soon after this transaction. He was the father of Rose, and she and Thomas were married in 1743 in Patrick
  2. This contact is for Intack #38. Thomas soon acquired inter alia Intack #37, and then Pat Savage gifted his acquisition from the Whites to Thomas in 1752
  3. Between the Savages and the Mylreas, a stretch along the Quay belonged to these two families, probably from Crown St to St Peter's Lane in Peel
  4. Thomas was the second son of Daniel Mylrea & Lucy Parry, baptised 1717 in Ballaugh; this was the Deemster/Archdeacon/MHK/Attorney General line; and they were the possessors of the Dollough estate
  5. Thomas and Rose Mylrea, like the Savages, made their wealth from importing liquour and other goods to the Isle of Man (Ref: Wilkins: The Smuggling Trade Revisited 2004)
  6. Thomas died in 1759, leaving four children of the eight that had been born to the couple
  7. Thomas probably died in Ireland. Wife Rose went there at some stage after Thomas's death and died at Strangford in 1791
  8. Neither Thomas nor Rose were buried on the Isle of Man which tends to support the idea that they are both buried in Ireland
  9. The "Dan Mylrea" mentioned in this document was probably Thomas's brother, the Deemster, and if not, his father
  10. Patrick Savage died in 1762 by which time he had gifted other lands to Thomas
