- Buried 10th July 1787, Lonan
- Married Ann Quark 27th February 1781; two daughters Margaret (1783) & Anne (1785)
- William was the third son of John Mylroie & Margaret Clague, and baptised 1754
- He died when he was only 33 years of age
- Daughters Ann might have married John Corlett 1807 in Lonan; and Margaret Edmund Clark in 1801
- There is frequently confusion between this William Mylroie, b 1754, and his cousin William Mylroie b1746
- Lonan parish registers from the early 1700s are far from complete so extreme caution must be exercised when attempting to draw conclusions about these families and their relationships
