My Mylrea connections go back to 17th century Ballaugh where John Mylrea, son of Nicholas jnr my great great great grandfather was born. As a young man,John abandoned the rural life and went to Andreas in the early 19th century where he earned his living as a tailor. His son, also named John and born in 1823, ventured even further afield when he went to the great southern land, Australia, barely 50 years after it was first settled by Europeans. John's 6th generation of descendants is now coming into the world.

A visitor to this site can easily see that all things Mylrea interest me and I hope that some might feel inclined to contribute their knowledge or resources.

THOMAS MYLREA, Farmer & Preacher 1788-1860)

I've given this document a heavy edit, and added new material

May 2024 REVISION

Links in many of the early Braddan wills & documents on this site no longer work so I have replaced them with text. When Nigel Crowe died, so too did his wonderful manxroots website. I have been working my way through these items to remove the links which currently go to a tab which is labelled with Eastern script - maybe Chinese? The information is availale in hard copy form in Crowe's Survey of Douglas 2001 Vol 1
