James Cleator married Elizabeth Mylecharane Dec. 3 1818 in the parish of Lezayre. According to IGI they had the following children:-

Elizabeth ch Sept. 9 1839 in Andreas
Esther ch Feb. 23 1834 Andreas
Ann ch Feb. 20 1831 Andreas
Mary Ann ch Jan 3 1830 Andreas
John ch Dec 28 1823 Andreas
Wlilliam ch Oct 22 1826 Andreas
Thomas ch Dec 7 1837 Andreas
James ch Jan 28 1821 Andreas

By 1851 they were living in Michael.

Elizabeth Widow 51 Farmer of 28 acres born Lezayre
John 27 Tailor Andreas
William 24 farmers son Andreas
Ann 20 farmers daughter Andreas
Esther 17 farmers daugh. Andreas
Elizabeth 11 .. Andreas

The farm was called Ballacoin(e) also Ballacoan as an alternative, meaning farm in the hollow.

Thomas is recorded as dying at 3 months and Mary Ann may also have died young. There is a marriage of Esther Cleator to Daniel Callister June 9 1859 in Michael and also a James Cleator to Ellinor Cannell July 6 1843. This may account for those missing in 1851. James the father appears to have died but no record in Michael or Andreas.

Some of the latter information is speculative.
