NOTES

  1. GRAWE (Grauff) - Ballacallister
  2. Thomas was the son of Thomas Mylrea & Mary Clague, and baptised 1782, Lonan
  3. He married Judith (Joney) Camaish 25 May 1805, Lonan
  4. His parents settled the family estate on Thomas through his Marriage Contract
  5. He and Judith had 7 children's baptisms recorded: Clague (1807), Ellinor (1808), John (1811), Jane (1814), Thomas (1817), James (1819), Elizabeth (1822)
  6. Clague married Elizabeth Lewney, John married Ann Quilleash, Thomas married Rosanna (or Ruth Hannah?) Kennedy, James married Catherine Crebbin
  7. Thomas had mortgaged the family estate several times although not all of the Mortgage documents have survived. This particular mortgage is the second Thomas arranged in 1848
  8. Thomas had, a decade previously sole about half of the family estate to John Killip for £180. In 1851 he sold the other half to Killip for £140
  9. Neither Thomas nor Judith left a will when they died in 1855 & 1852 respectively, so it is an open question what happened to the proceeds of the sale. Thomas worked as a farm labourer after the sale and all four sons were miners
  10. Lonan parish registers from the early 1700s are far from complete so extreme caution must be exercised when attempting to draw conclusions about these families and their relationships
