NOTES
- Jane Mylrea married Philip Radcliffe in Ballaugh 4th November 1766; Philip as from Andreas & Jane from Ballaugh
- Assuming she was born around 1740-1745 with a marriage in 1766, there is no suitable candidate, but she is likely to be be the daughter of John Mylrea (Sumner of Ballaugh) & Joney Kinread, baptised 1734, so a little older than the average of a bride
- According to Parr's abstract of laws (c1690), sumners had a range of duties including collecting tithes, bringing offenders to prison and standing at the door during a Church service to "whip and beat out the dogs".
- Jane's children were born in Andreas:
- daughter Jane b1768 (so over 40 when her mother died)
- son John born b1772
- son William b1775; he must have died to be left from his mother's will
- Husband Philip probably died 1801. His will names children Jane & John Radcliffe (and a William Mylrea)
