NOTES

  1. Ballasalley
  2. Elizabeth was the wife of Martin McYlrea. They married 1654
  3. She was buried 22nd January 1683 (Inyrean)
  4. The name Martin is unique in Mylrea genealogy and while there is no record of Martin's birth, his mother had to be Issabel Mylrea who died in 1648 naming Martin as one of her sons
  5. Elizabeth & Martin had three children: Thomas (1657-1670); Katherine born 1660 - might have died 1669; John (1664)
  6. Son John married Elizabeth Bridson, Malew, 1684 and died 1699, 18 months after his father
  7. Family estate was settled on grand son John in 1718. By then, he was a tailor in Dublin and probably never returned to the Island, selling the estate to William Stole in 1735. This Mylrea line, if it continued, did so in Ireland or further afield
  8. Grand daughter Ellin had a Marriage Contract in 1722 with John Callister of Ballasalley
  9. There is much about the Malew Mylreas of the 1600s and early 1700s that does not hang together so extreme caution must be exercised
  10. For further insights into the Malew Mylreas, please refer to Mylreas in Ballaquaile and Fildraw
