NOTES
- Ellin Inyroah was buried 13th March, 1682
- Wife of John Mylrea who died 1654
- One of several Mylrea-Bell marriages through the generations
- Children: Thomas and Catherine
- Catherine might be the Katherin Cain als McYlrea who died 1696, and left a legacy to Jony, her brother's daughter
- There is much about the Malew Mylreas of the 1600s and early 1700s that does not hang together so extreme caution must be exercised
- For further insights into the Malew Mylreas, please refer to Mylreas in Ballaquaile and Fildraw
