| Notes |
- After Sir Ilay's death in 1823, his son Archibald succeeded him and in 1827 completely refurbished Garscube House. While renovations were under way, he lodged at Garscube Inn at Killermont Bridge. In 1846, his grandson Archibald Islay succeeded to the title of Baronet but was too young to inherit the estate, and so his three uncles, acting as trustees, controlled the money, presumably a great annoyance to a young man. The house was closed for a while and the staff reduced. Having finally come into his inheritance at twenty-five we find him in residence at Garscube House with his widowed mother on the night of the census in 1851 along with many servants: butler; footman, coachman, helper in stable, housekeeper; lady's maid, two housemaids, two kitchen maids, a laundry-maid and dairymaid, besides other servants living in the lodge. He married a lady of delicate health, however; and from then on they spent much of their time in England or on the continent, leaving a factor to run the estate.
