NOTES

  1. Thomas Mylrea jnr was the son of Margaret Lewn and Thomas McYlrea snr who married in Braddan in November 1717
  2. Thomas jnr was baptised 1721. His older brother Robert, baptised 1718, died in about 1750
  3. In 1748, a Thomas MULRAY, sailor, married a Mary Norton on 23rd February in the parish of St Nicholas, Liverpool, details which seem to "fit" the description of Thomas McYlrea, the vendor in the sale contract
  4. The other administrator of the 1749 will of Ann Harrison was Ann Curlett als Cannell als Lewn, daughter of Robert Lewn, and Thomas's cousin
  5. This Quit Claim removed Thomas jnr from consideration as an heir when his uncle Thomas Harrison who died named his wife Ann Harrison als Lewn his major legatee. The consequence was that Ann Curlett als Cannell als Lewn became the major beneficiary of Harrison's will
  6. Mapping by Nigel Crowe shows that this cottage allotment was on Barrack St, with neighbours in 1705 Richard Killey (and Jane Mc ylrea), Robert Joyner (and Margaret Mc ylrea), Philip Higgin (and Jane Mc ylrea) and Thomas Mylroi
