NOTES

  1. COLBY - Ballacosney (2)
  2. Thomas Joseph was the only son of Joseph Mylroie and Margaret Kindread. Born in 1840, he was the fourth of eight children
  3. Note that the spelling in this family is now MYLROI
  4. Thomas Joseph married Elizabeth Kneale in 1889, when he was almost 50 years of age
  5. They had two children, Margaret Ann (1890) & Thomas Joseph jnr (1896).
  6. His family separated and went into service after his death: wife Elizabeth was working as a housekeeper in 1911, daughter Margaret Ann as a servant, and son Thomas Joseph jnr as a farm labourer. Presumably Ballacosney Farm was no longer occupied by Thomas Joseph's family
  7. Margaret Ann married John Hughes in Liverpool in 1919
