FamilySearch has the marriage of Myles Sawrey to Elizabeth Stevens, 1772, Devon, for which you can view the image if you are at a FamilySearch Centre or a member of a "supporting organization" (probably means a member of the LDS Church). Also the marriage of Myles Sawrey to Elizabeth Tozer 10 or 18 Feb 1777 at Modbury, Devon. And the baptism of Elizabeth Sawry, daughter of Miles and Elizabeth, 29 Mar 1778 at Princes Street Independent, Devonport, Devon. The image for that is on BMD Registers / The Genealogist.
But what I was really looking for was Myles Sawrey's burial in 1791 or 1796 or somewhere in between, to see whether it gave his age! Ah well, hopefully the will should provide lots of clues anyway.

Ah, his burial is on ancestry!
burial Myles Sawrey, of the Parish of St Andrews in the County of Devon, aged Sixty-four years was buried in the Protestant Dissenters Burying-Ground, in Plymouth, on the Fourth Day of July 1796 Registered the Twentythird day of July 1796 So, he was born about 1732 which I think fits with a baptism earlier in this thread... yes, see post #12. We still don't know whether he is Agatha's full brother or half-brother, though.

Oh! I found this Myles while I was searching yesterday.
There's a marriage for him in London to Elizabeth Chambers in 1787; he was a widower, abode St Andrew's, Plymouth: http://interactive.ancestry.co.uk/16...nSearchResults Marriage bond: http://interactive.ancestry.co.uk/20...nSearchResults I also came across this document, which contains some old Hawkshead wills, so it may come in useful at some point. There a various Sawreys, Rigges, etc., mentioned. https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rc...7XLGiKZQENt9Kw

I feel a trip to TNA coming on...
That TNA doc would almost certainly describe Anthony's relationship to George Dixon in greater detail. If it were via Anthony's wife then Miles and Agatha (it was Agatha, not Agnes, wasn't it?) would have the same mother. I do wonder, given Miles's wanderings, whether Anthony also wandered and that is why there are gaps. btw Miles would have been a minor still in 1753 as only twenty. You do get families with lots of still births and only the eldest child and a youngest (born when the poor woman feels herself too old for children)
