  • Notes 

    • From http://www.visitoruk.com/Hull/sunk-island-C592-V26547.html:
      The next lessee, for just one year, was to be Captain Lovelace Gylby, another flamboyant character credited with temporarily losing the island in a card game. His widow Margaret held on for another 45 years, beset on all sides by warring local landowners who claimed parts of the island, as its boundaries grew ever-closer to the Holderness mainland. When Margaret died in 1790, she bequeathed Sunk Island in the form of shares to a bewildering number of relatives, and as she died childless, here the name 'Gylby' dies out.
      Note that Margaret did have a child (also called Margaret>) but the latter died aged twelve in 1747.
