lol Shona! I meant legally, but as Kate pointed out they might be separating children already born from those who were not, then my question is irrelevant!
Not that it's helped with George Dixon (*wonders if he's related to the policeman?*  )

Good morning again....
You all seem to be able to conjure up these records and make them make sense.......lol. I look at them and go glassy eyed. I wouldn't worry about distance here too much. The Dixons (from a descendant so not sure how true) apparently came from Grassmere. The Kirkbys were from around there as well. I will grab my notes from under all these wills I had out last night. I wonder if "infant" meant an unborn child. There seemed to be quite a lot of "abortive" children in the Hawkshead register.

That can't be right - they know the sex of one and there are plural infants in some families!!

I am fairly sure that infants in the legal connection means minors and refers to Miles and A, who would both be under age at the time.
Miles seems to have had a single sister when he died. There could have been other siblings who predeceased him without issue, of course.

The Myles Sawrey 1613 was the great grandfather of Thomas Holme, the Surveyor General of Pennsylvania.
There's a fair bit about them all in Google Books. It's just a case of connecting which person was the next one back after Anthony. I will email for a quote for those wills Merry....that's what I have to do apparently.
