So still no nearer to knowing which Ann married John Kelly. She was probably an illegitimate daughter of a female Shimmin (probably Mary) and a Mr Mylrea. Mylrea is an unusual name in Malew. There was a burial of a William Mylrea in Malew in 1823, but I haven't found any others who might be the right one. In the 1841 census there were no Mylreas living in Malew.
