NOTES

  1. This is a family affair. William Cain is the husband of Isabel Mylrea, Thomas's daughter and only child
  2. The previous year, Thomas purchased a property called Moaney Moar from William Cain et al, the same property being offered up as security in this current contract
  3. The land involved here was about half of what Thomas Mylrea had purchased from Thomas Cubbon in 1748. It was in the parish of Braddan, on the treen of Castleward and in the quarterland of Balla-oates
  4. Thomas sold this and another parcel (to Robert Kelly) on the same day in 1756 - in total, all of what he had purchased from Thomas Cubbon in 1748
  5. The lands had originally been contributed by Thomas to his daughter Isabel's Marriage Contract in 1753 which is why William and Isabel are involved in this sale
  6. Subequently Thomas and Jane left Braddan and took up residence in KK German on Moaney Moar estate where daugher Isabel and husband William Cain resided with their family. Thomas essentially gifted half of the Moaney Moar estate to Isabel & William in 1758
  7. Thomas was most probably the son of William, the son of William Mylrea & Ann Christian, and Ellinor Mylrea als Quayle although there is little evidence to support this hypothesis
  8. Thomas was the husband of Jane Karran. No marriage record survives but presumably in the early 1730s. Daughter Isabel baptised 1735
  9. These transactions were not recorded in LV within a decade of their taking place although records might have been lost
