NOTES
- ALL COLBY - Close Moar
- William was the son of David Mylroie jnr & Catherine Quayle, and born 1803 in Lonan
- He was their fourth son (second surviving), and he married Jane Gelling in 1829
- William & Jane had 8 children in all, three who probably died in childhood, the remaining 5 migrating to the USA where they established a branch of the Close Moar Mylroie clan
- William was probably the nephew of James Quayle who was a blacksmith. He paid £9/9/- for a part of Cottage Allotment #31 in the village of Laxey, for which he paid 3d rent pa
- He expanded his holding in 1840 by purchasing more of the tenancy to Cottage Allotment #31 for which he paid £4/-/-, about half of what he paid to Quayle in 1832 so perhaps his rent was about 1d ps
- in 1841, William borrowed £40 from John Gill, nominating the rent to be 2½dd pa so it would not have been the entire holding purchased from Quayle. It would seem that William could not repay the debt because in 1842, LV 1864 records that part of the property (at least) was in the hands of the coroner and sold. Within 2 years, Robert Mylroie, William's younger brother, was the tenant of that part of #31 paying 1d rent pa
- William was a baker in Laxey, and died at the age of 45 in 1848
