NOTES

  1. The first wife of John Mylrea who later married Ellinor Cain in 1765
  2. Joney Mylrea als Kinread was buried 22nd August 1764 (despite what is noted in probate petition)
  3. Parentage of John Mylrea uncertain but he was probably the son of a William Mylrea, and born in 1706 in Ballaugh for which there is a baptismal record. Best guess is that his father William was the son of William Mylrea and Ann Christian born 1667 (so Joney Kinread's husband was their grandson)
  4. Children mentioned in Joney’s will: Jane (1734), Daniel (1738), Mary (1741), Ellin (1744), Elizabeth (1747), William (1752-1765), John 1759
  5. Son William died in 1765. All other children alive when husband John died in 1781
  6. Daughter Mary married William Kaighin in May 1764, not long before her mother died. She married in Patrick and lived in Peel, dying in 1792. She had many children
  7. Ellinor married Thomas Gawn, seems to have had five surviving children, and remained in Ballaugh
  8. Nothing is known with certainty about Jane, Daniel, Elizabeth or John although Jane might have married Philip Radcliffe in 1766 (Ballaugh) and Daniel might have married Ann Keiggeen in 1767 (Rushen)
  9. If Daniel & Mary are indeed siblings, then both left Ballaugh for the southern part of the island as did their father's hypothesised siblings, Edward & Mary
  10. John Mylrea died in 1781 and was the Summoner of Ballaugh
