NOTES

  1. The original purchase document (1774) only mentioned land to the value of £16 for land with an annual Lord's Rent of 7p while the subsequent sale document was for £48/8/- for land which attracted annual Lord's Rent of 15p. This correction brings forward the dimensions of the ACTUAL purchased land which now makes the purchase price of £48/8/- more realistic
  2. The lands involved were presumably the Quayle estate, which passed to Alice's brother John when their father Hugh died in 1740 and which Edward then purchased over thirty years later, just before John Quayle died
  3. Edward Mylrea married Alice Quayle in Arbory in 1841. Alice was the daughter of Hugh & Cath Quayle, and she received a Settlement from her mother in 1740 of houses and lands in exchange for a lifetime of care, which turned out to be six months
  4. Best guess is that Edward Mylrea was the son of Ellinor Mylrea als Quayle who died in Ballaugh 1733
  5. Edward & Alice had one surviving son, Edward baptised 1743. This boy Edward married Susannah Cashen in Malew, and moved to Peel before either of his parents had died. There they established a new Mylrea dynasty
  6. Edward mentions a grandson also named Edward in his 1786 will, and although there is no record of baptism for this child, he is likely to be the Edward Mylrea living in Liverpool and working as a shipwright in the late 1700s
