NOTES
- Jony was the daughter in law of Margaret Mc ylroy and Robert Joyner. She married their only son Charles (b c1693)
- Birth records show 4 children to this couple: Robert (1724), Margaret (1726-1726), Ellinor (1727) & Charles while the Consistory Court names 4 - John, Robert, Charles, Ellinor - so John and Charles had no baptism record. These same four children are named in husband Charles's wills
- Husband Charles died 1729. He was a glover while his father was a mariner
- Jony's Joyner in-laws might have been relatively wealthy. Robert inherited several allotments in Douglas from his father,William Joyner (b1628), and Margaret also enjoyed a legacy of at least one allotment from her parents, John Mc ylroy and Cath Moore
- In 1727, the Joyners made a bequest to their son Charles jnr which amounted to about ½ of the cottage allotment #75 (with a total of 3s 10d rent, this was a valuable property)
- Oldest son Robert perished off the coast of Africa in about 1751
- Following brother Robert's death, surviving sons John and Charles sold off another part of cottage allotment #75 in 1779, and now they held just a 3½d share of the allotment that had been exclusively held by their grandfather Robert Joyner.. None of the other occupants of the allotment were Joyner descendants
