  4. Mary died 1782; Charles jnr 1792. Apart from Charles who died as a small childn, nothing is known of the fate of the other sons
  5. The final sale - Charles sold the Fildraw house, all that remained of the Fildraw estate that was compounded by this great grandfather in 1666 but potentially held by the family for much longer. Mary had died a month before
  6. Where Charles jnr lived his last decade is unknown
  7. There is much about the Malew Mylreas of the 1600s and early 1700s that does not hang together so extreme caution must be exercised
  8. For further insights into the Malew Mylreas, please refer to Mylreas in Ballaquaile and Fildraw
