NOTES

  1. This was the second mortgage that Thomas Mylrea took in a 3 year window. The first was in 1873. Both times he put up his share of "Harry's" mill and associated buildings as security. After his death in 1877, his oldest son, John Thomas, and heir at law repaid the mortgages
  2. Thomas, baptised 1815, was oldest son of Thomas Mylrea & Margaret als Cowin of Braddan. He had two brothers - Philip the school master at Malew, and William blacksmith at Andreas
  3. He married Mary Elizabeth Caine 1839, Braddan
  4. Thomas was the miller at Glen Wyllin. He and his family went to Michael in about 1844, after living originally at Union Mills outside Douglas where he was already a miller
  5. Thomas was also a Methodist preacher as were his father, and brother William
  6. Seven children: Jane (baptised 20th May 1840), Margaret (3rd April 1842), Mary Elizabeth (3rd February 1844), John Thomas (22nd November 1845), Sarah (23rd January 1848), William (1st March 1850), Philip Caine (5th May 1853) - 5 survived
    • Jane m William Callister, went to live in the USA
    • Mary Elizabeth m John Caine, eventually went to the UK
    • John Thomas m Jane Stowell, remained on the IOM
    • William m Elizabeth Horsley, went to the UK
    • Philip Caine m Elizabeth Dickenson went, to the USA
  7. After living in Glen Wyllin for well over 10 years, Thomas was able to purchase a third portion of "Harry's" mill (4s of 12s) from the local cooper, John Cain, plus a small piece of Dromrewaigh quarterland (1/3d) (LV1860) . Perhaps he had always lived and worked there, and the death of his parents in law in Douglas provided a legacy enabling him to purchase "the business"?
  8. His son, John Thomas, became a ship owner and corn dealer in Castletown, and died tragically at the relatively early age of 48
  9. John Thomas, by virtue of his father's will, inherited the Mylrea holdings in Michael
  10. John Thomas left those Michael holdings to his wife, Jane Stowell (LV 1898), and when she died in 1900, they passed to Thomas who was still a minor (LV 1901)
  11. Young Thomas Mylrea married in 1904 but tragically his wife died a few months later
  12. Thomas left for the USA soon afterwards where he married Bertha Margaret Thomas and became a father to two daughters. The family made its home in Oklahoma
  13. In 1908, Thomas sold the share of "Harry's" mill his grandfather had purchased in about 1858
