NOTES

  1. This gift from Rose's parents comes not quite a decade after she and Thomas were married. It is also three years after Thomas purchased a property from his brother-in-law, and it would be interesting to know whether the current gift when combined with the 1749 purchase were adjoining houses
  2. Deemster/Archdeacon/MHK/Attorney General ine; and possessors of the Dollough estate
  3. Thomas was the second son of Daniel Mylrea & Lucy Parry, baptised 1717 in Ballaugh; he married Rose Savage in Patrick in 1743
  4. Rose Mylrea als Savage came from a family that, like her husband Thomas, made their wealth from importing liquour and other goods to the Isle of Man (Ref: Wilkins: The Smuggling Trade Revisited 2004). He also engaged in offering mortgages, although the surviving records suggest only 1 client over a period of several years with several mortgages until the 1752 purchase from William White
  5. The first record of Thomas in Peel is in the Manorial Roll of 1748 when, several years after his marriage to Rose (1743), he acquired an Intack adjoining Savage Intacks
  6. Thomas died in 1759, leaving four chilren of the eight that had been born to the couple
  7. Thomas's older son Daniel married Leonora Heywood of the Nunnery, and after she died Mary Bosley. He took his family to Canada as a member of the 10th Veterans' Battalion and was the hero of the Harpooner incident in 1816. He died in 1822 in France aged 72. He was the father of Frederick Thomas Mylrea 1803-1862
  8. Thomas's other son Thomas died in 1781, possibly at the Battle of Providien, not having married
  9. Thomas probably died in Ireland. Wife Rose went there at some stage after Thomas's death and died at Strangford in 1791
  10. Neither Thomas nor Rose were buried on the Isle of Man which tends to support the idea that they are both buried in Ireland
  11. The "Dan Mylrea"s mentioned in this document are Thomas's father and brother
