NOTES
- Ann was buried 20th April 1798
- Ann (McYeroy) married James Eager, Santon 13th Dec 1760, so presumably this is the Ann who died in Braddan
- If she was about 25 when she married, then she was born in the mid 1730s. Only recorded baptism that might relate to Ann is Lonan 1730, daughter of Edward McYlroy who, as yet, remains unconnected to Mylrea families on Isle of Man
- Ann's children: (1) Jane baptised 1762 Santon (died 1810/1843, unmarried Braddan), (2) James baptised 1764 (Mylroy)? married Isabella Gell? James died 1804 – has will E 1 0106409, (3) John born 1766 (Mclroi)? A John Eagar died in Liverpool in 1842 (4) Ann Eagar baptised 1772, child of James Eagar & Ann Mylrea/Mcylroii (earlier child born 1769?), married Patrick Kneen 1794 Braddan?
