NOTES

  1. No record of her burial but might Clement be a daughter of Thomas Mylrea & Ales (Alice?) Bell (a suggestion made solely on the basis of her sister's name), and thus the grand daughter of Annas McIllrea als Quain who died in 1603? Ales Bell died 1646 but did not mention an Alice amongst her children although she died 13 years after Clement. If there was a daughter Alice, she could have died in the interim
  2. Joyce Oates asserts that Clement was the sister-in-law of Alice(thus Clement was the sister of Thomas, not his daughter)
  3. A Gilbert Mcyellria died 1649 in Malew but no links are apparent between him and the family of Thomas Mylrea and Ales (Alice?) Bell
  4. There is much about the Malew Mylreas of the 1600s and early 1700s that does not hang together so extreme caution must be exercised
  5. For further insights into the Malew Mylreas, please refer to Mylreas in Ballaquaile and Fildraw
