NOTES

  1. ALL COLBY - Ballacallister
  2. William was the second surviving son of John Mylroie & Margaret Clague, baptised in Lonan in 1754
  3. He married Ann Quark in 1781 and the couple had two daughters, Margaret (1783) & Ann (1785)
  4. William died in 1787, only 33 years old
  5. William had previously been gifted a house that he built on the lands of Thomas Quark
  6. This current contract gifts another house, this time on William built on the lands of Thomas Quine, which was in the same area as the gifted Quark house, that is, on the road between Laxey and Gretch/Grettest
  7. William's father in law would in 1785 grant William tenancy of the garden adjoining the house mentioned in the previous Quark contract
  8. Nothing survivies to indicate how William made a living but with a house and garden (rather than Intack or quarterland), he was most likely a resident of Laxey village
  9. Daughters Margaret might have married Edmund Clark in 1801 and Ann, John Corlett 1807 in Lonan
  10. 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
