NOTES

  1. ALL COLBY - Ballacosney
  2. James was the younger son of David Mylroie snr and Margaret Killey who married in Lonan in 1755
  3. He was baptised 1764 and married Elinor Skillicorn in 1785. They had 7 children with a record of existence: BAPTISM - James jnr (1788), Margaret (1791), John (1793), William (1796), Elinor (1801), Joseph (1805), and ADMINISTRATION & MI- Thomas (1795)
  4. Thomas died in 1840, and had an MI which confirmed his relationship in this Mylroie family
  5. A Daniel was recorded as being born to James & Margaret but this was the individual who married Mary Ann Tear and later Jane Lowrey, and was the son of James's brother, David jnr. This Daniel was baptised one month after James's son Joseph in 1805 which also suggests that this record of baptismwas a transcription/vicar error
  6. Two sons, John & William, died in 1819 and 1818 respectively, leaving their brothers James jnr & Joseph to carry on the family name
  7. This purchase represents James establishing his own family estate. He had first been a mortgager to John Kewley for the lands in 1790, and just over 12 years later, Kewley sold those lands to James for £225
