If you think that the Anthony Sawrey mentioned in the TNA catalogue entry in post #13 is likely to be your Anthony, then George Dixon's will might be worth getting. The date on the catalogue entry is 1753 but the nearest possible burial and will I can see are George Dixon, householder, buried 13 Jul 1741 St Andrew, Coniston, with a will of a George Dixon of Bowmanstead, Furness, 1741. But of course this might be the wrong George Dixon, or two different wrong George Dixons! If only you could get to look at the TNA stuff, but it says it has not been digitised and you would have to request a quote for a copy, and I think they're pretty expensive now. And if he is the George Dixon who died in 1741, his will wouldn't mention Agatha, but of course it could be he died nearer to 1753 and I just didn't find the right burial and will.
