NOTES

  1. Henry McLarye buried 28 November 1675 in Braddan
  2. This person cannot be the Henry, who together with Thomas and John Mallereigh all made their appearance of the Braddan property records of the mid-1600s. These men might have been brothers, or cousins, or a man and his sons.
  3. Not apparent why his will was dealt with in Marown
  4. Had sons David & John, and David is not common amongst the Manx families. THus, the son mentioned in this will is likely to be the one who married in Braddan in 1680
  5. 1680 Articles of Marriage and subsequent marriage between a David McLerye & Margaret (Cowne) took place in Braddan 1680, and signatory to the 1680 Articles of Marriage was a Christian Mallarye als Cowne, who was buried in Braddan 20th February 1681 (1680 in old calendar)
  6. Possible Braddan baptisms for the children of son David & Margaret: Hen (MOLLEREIGH) 1685, Jo (MALLEREIGH) 1686, Richard (MALAREIGH) 1690. There is also a record of a burial in 1684 for "a child of David's" and Margaret's will (1723) also mentions a daughter named Margaret
  7. Also in Braddan were two Mylrea women, both daughters of John: 3 Nov 1685 MALLEREIGH Margt (d/o John) married JOYNER Robt & 22 Jul 1689 MALLEROY Jane (d/o John) married KELLEY Richd. Their mother was Catharine McYlroy als Moore & years later, when her will was proven, a statement appeared to the effect that her husband had left the island 40 years previously.
  8. David's wife Margaret McYlroy died 1723 in Lonan and David died 1733 (the burial register records the location as Blondall which is a variation of the land where both children of David - daughter Margaret and son Richard - resided)
  9. Their daughter Margaret, Henry's grand daughter, married Daniel Cowne in 1709
  10. Their son Richard, Henry's grand son, married three times: Isabell Moore 1714, Ellinor Ffargher 1732, Mary Quark 1740. He died 1749 leaving nine children
  11. Lonan parish registers from the early 1700s have not survived in their entirety so extreme caution must be exercised when attempting to draw conclusions about these families and their relationships
