NOTES
- Fildraw
- Married Elizabeth Shimmin 18th September 1686
- Oldest son of Thomas Mylrea and Margaret Gellin, who married in Malew 1654. John baptised 1659
- Parents died: Margaret 1702, Thomas 1711
- John's grand parents were probably Thomas Mylrea & Isabel, who had children Thomas, John, Martin & Issabel
- John's surviving siblings: Jony (in Ireland), Thomas (m Catherine Bell who died 1699), Nicho (m Christian Gawne), Margaret (m Thomas Norris)
- John McYlrea had six children: Elizabeth (married Thomas Norris) baptised1686, Charles (married Margaret Kewley?) b1687, Thomas (married Jony Kinley) b1689, Ann (married Thomas Cain) b1694, Cath (unmarried) b1697, Isable (married Thomas Quackin, Robert Shimmin) b1701
- Son Thomas has a Marriage Contract (1712) that gave the appearance of giving the "Mylrea estate" to him (three pounds sterling and also half of all their lands and houses during their natural life), which would have been illegal since he had an older living brother, Charles. However, subsequent land dealings demonstrate that Charles was indeed the family's heir, although a problematic individual
- A seemingly disfuctional family!!!!!
- There is much about the Malew Mylreas of the 1600s and early 1700s that does not hang together so extreme caution must be exercised
- For further insights into the Malew Mylreas, please refer to Mylreas in Ballaquaile and Fildraw
