I'm looking at a public member tree on ancestry which has Anthony Sawrey 1697-1786 on it but doesn't show him marrying or having children. Wondering whether we can find anything in there which we could use to prove whether he is the right Anthony. He is shown as the son of Myles Sawrey 1660-1727 and Margaret Taylor who died 1752, and one of his siblings is shown as Agnes Sawrey 1692-1764, who married a Myles Fleming. The tree shows the Flemings as having three children who died young, with Myles Fleming dying in 1738. So, if this is all correct, Agnes might name siblings, nephews and nieces in her will. Edit - thought I had found a likely will for her but it was wrong! Back to the drawing board...

Wonder whether Margaret left a will; if so then that might name Agatha.
