NOTES
- Buried 5th February 1781, Lonan, aged about 34
- Baptised 28th Sept 1746, the son of Richard Mylroie & Mary Quark, Richard's third wife
- Married Elizabeth Callow 14th December 1771. Six daughters: Margaret (1772), Esther (1774), Mary (1775), Ellinor (1777), Ann (1779), Jane (1781)
- Uncles John & David correspond with Richard Mylroies 1749 will 'which mentions sons John & David (& William & Thomas & Richard jnr)
- Wife Elizabeth died 1788; daughters Ellinor & Jane not identified in Elizabeth's will so presumably they had died between 1781 and 1788
- Esther might have married James Carrett in Braddan in 1800
- This branch of the Lonan Mylroie clan had no male descendants
- There is frequently confusion between this William Mylroie, b 1746, and his cousin William Mylroie b1754
- Lonan parish registers from the early 1700s are far from complete so extreme caution must be exercised when attempting to draw conclusions about these families and their relationships
