NOTES

  1. Fildraw beg - second son of Thomas Mylrea & Jony Kinley, born 1716
  2. Thomas Mylrea might have married Isabel Gelling in the early 1740s. This young woman died 1743. He then married Elizabeth Shimmin July 1746, Malew
  3. Seven children: Jony 1747, John 1749, Deborah 1752, Charles 1754, Elizabeth 1757-1757, Catherine 1759, Margaret 1762. Last two born in Rushen
  4. It is highly likely that Thomas remained on the family's Fildraw lands while their owner, his brother John jnr, worked as a cooper in Castletown. The lands were sold in 1757 which roughly coincides with when Thomas's family took up residence in Rushen
  5. John's wife Elizabeth was buried 10th March, 1781 Rushen
  6. Four children were named in Elizabeth's will [Jony, Deborah, Charles, Margaret], John & Catherine had died in 1765 of smallpox, and Elizabeth had not survive infancy
  7. Jony (died 1797), Deborah (died 1802) & Charles (died 1809) continued to live in Rushen, none marrying. Margaret married Peter Christian 1892, Rushen, and had several children - Thomas (1795-1802), John (1797), Margaret (1800), Isabel (1802). Daughter Margaret had an illegitimate child named John Cannell in 1825, fathered by James Cannell (ref http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=640475.0)
  8. No concrete evidence as to Thomas's fate but the Thomas Mylrea given as a pledge in in Elizabeth's will suggests he was still alive in 1781 so he was probably the Thomas Mylrea who died in Rushen, 1801
  9. This mortgage is the only record of one of the Fildraw Mylrea loaning money to someone else!
  10. There is much about the Malew Mylreas of the 1600s and early 1700s that does not hang together so extreme caution must be exercised
