NOTES
- Son Robert, daughters Christian, Margaret & Ann in Ann's will, but Ellin rather than Ann in Hugh's - a notary's mistake?
- Son Robert is married or about to be married, so parents perhaps born 1550-1560?
- Land records shed no light on where Hugh Quaye might have been a tenant in Michael. LV 1604 records transfer from Ralph to Robert and to Ellen
- 1604 LA shows Donald Kerron on Cammall treen, Ralph Quay had a 6d cottage and several intacks, William Quayle on Leyre,
- Also several Mylreas from Michael left wills, although whether they had links to Anne's family is unknown:
- 1595 Will: Johanis Mc ilrea (children William, Johns, Jonet, Donald, Johan)
- 1600 Will: Ann Mylrea als Moore (wife) (no children?)
- 1627 Will: Richard (children Christian, Thomas, William, Christian, Bahie)

- The following transactions are the only ones surviving for the Mylreas in Michael in the 1600s and have been put together in case someone can make a link between the families. There's a group of 3 relating to Thomas, another 4 relating to John (athough at vastly different times) and 2 for Hugh. However this does not imply generations of the same family
