NOTES

  1. Ballakilley
  2. William was the younger son of Thomas Mylrea snr & Ann Killey, who married in Lonan in 1833
  3. William had seven siblings on record
    • Anne (1833) married John Kinrade 1883 (perhaps a mariner)
    • Elizabeth (1835) married Thomas Kermode, miner, 1860
    • Isabella (1837) no record after 1861 census when she was 13 years old, and not mentioned in father's will so presumably dead
    • Elleanor (1839) married James Lace, miner, 1862
    • Jane (1842) married John Corkill
    • Thomas (1843) married Ann Jane Cubbon, 1875
    • Margaret (1849) married John Kermeen, miner, 1870
  4. William, the second youngest, was baptised in 1845, and married Emily Helena Corlett in 1873
  5. William & Emily had four children, all of whom quickly died
    • William Henry 1874-1874
    • Emily Ann 1880-1880
    • Robert William 1886-1887
    • Harriet Ann 1888-1888
  6. There might have been a genetic problem in this Mylrea line because there were no discernable living siblings of William's father, although records of several dead ones; William's brother, Thomas Mylrea jnr, and wife Ann Jane Cubbon had no children in their short marriage and Thomas jnr died at the age of 35. On the other hand, it might have been a Clague endowment with his grandmother's siblings, Isabella, John & Catherine having no living children, and his grandmother, Elizabeth, having about 8 children, most of whom died
  7. Under normal circumstances, William would not have inherited the family estate called Ballakilley. However, his older brother Thomas jnr died in 1879 without having had children
  8. Thus William, inherited Ballakilley, but lived with his family at Croit-e-Quill, in Sunhill Cottage. He was a miner at the time of his marriage, and described variously during his lifetime as an engine driver & general laborer. He was listed in Brown's Directory 1894 as "owner of part of Ballakilley" but never in census collections as a farmer
  9. In 1904, William and his surviving sisters (Jane & Isabella) successfully sued for the estate of their sister, Ann Kinrade
  10. Emily died in 1916 and William in 1924.
