NOTES

  1. Ballakilley
  2. Thomas was born in Douglas in 1804, the son of William Mylrea & Elizabeth Clague
    • William was from Braddan, his parentage not clear but perhaps the son of William Mylrea & Jane Taggart, and baptised 1781 (making him 10 years younger than his wife)
    • Elizabeth was the daughter of William Clague & Alice Craine, and born in Lonan. She was the youngest of several children, three of whom became instrumental in Thomas's prosperity
  3. Catharine, Isabella & John Clague all made settlements, or gave Thomas land which must have become the Ballakilley estate being mortgaged in this Deed
  4. Isabella, three months previously, had sold for £40 land to Thomas that had been purchased from William Clague, probably Isabella's brother. It is interesting that the amount being borrowed in this contract is also £40, an amount that would appear again in a Promissory Note from Thomas snr to his son, Thomas jnr. Perhaps Thomas snr never quite recovered from the initial payment to his aunt, and had to borrow successively to maintain his principal debt
  5. Thomas married Ann Killey in 1833 in Lonan, and they had eight children on record
    • Anne (1833) married John Kinrade 1883 (perhaps a mariner)
    • Elizabeth (1835) married Thomas Kermode, miner, 1860
    • Isabella (1837) migrated to NZ in 1862 when she was 25 years of age, married Peter John Calder
    • Elleanor (1839) married James Lace, miner, 1862
    • Jane (1842) married John Corkill
    • Thomas (1843) married Ann Jane Cubbon, 1875
    • William (1845) married Emily Helena Corlett, 1873
    • Margaret (1849) married John Kermeen, miner, 1870
  6. Thomas snr died in 1881 aged 76. Unfortunately his older son Thomas jnr predeceased him
  7. The other son of Thomas snr, 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
  8. 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
  9. There might have been a genetic problem in this Mylrea line because there were no discernable living siblings of Thomas snr, although records of several dead ones; 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 siblings Isabella, John & Catherine having no living children, and Elizabeth having about 8 children, most of whom died
  10. Whatever Thomas's ancestry, his male line ceased with the death of his son, William, in 1924
  11. In 1904, William and his surviving sisters (Jane & Isabella) successfully sued for the estate of their sister, Ann Kinrade
