NOTES

  1. COLBY - Ballacosney (2)
  2. Thomas Joseph b1840 was the only son of Joseph Mylroie & Margaret Kinread who held Ballacosney Farm in Lonan
  3. He married Elizabeth Kneale in 1889 in Onchan when he was almost 50 years of age
  4. They had two children: Margaret Ann (1890) & Thomas Joseph jnr (1896)
  5. This is the third mortgage that Thomas Joseph took over Ballacosney, all of which ended up in the hands of Daniel Mylroi
  6. Daniel Myloi, the lender, was the second cousin of Thomas Joseph. He was a very successful businessman in Lonan, having started out as a boot & shoe maker
  7. When he died in 1899, Daniel left the three Ballacosney mortgages to his Cannell grand daughters who sued for settlement after Thomas Joseph snr died in 1906
  8. The family of Thomas Joseph subsequently separated and went into service: wife Elizabeth was working as a housekeeper in 1911, daughter Margaret Ann as a servant, and son Thomas Joseph jnr as a farm labourer. Presumably Ballacosney Farm was no longer occupied by Thomas Joseph's family
  9. Margaret Ann married John Hughes in Liverpool in 1919
