Also worth looking at the will of Joseph Exton of Tytherington (if you have access to Ancestry) He mentions Mary Gesper and Elizabeth Snelgrove, daughters of his late sister Sarah Collier.
Witnesses John Snelgrove (x) and Roger Snelgrove (signed)
will written 1765, proved 1767
Berks / Oxon: Eltham, Annetts, Wiltshire (surname not county), Hawkins, Pembroke, Partridge
Dorset / Hants: Derham, Stride, Purkiss, Sibley
Yorkshire: Pottage, Carr, Blackburn, Depledge
Sussex: Goodyer, Christopher, Trevatt
Lanark: Scott (soldier went to Jersey CI)

Just back to this now. Thanks for the information. So appreciate the help. I have managed to make some headway.

Still no information on Sarah Collier Plivy’s illegitimate son Joseph Exton Plivy Collier  (born 1758 in Sutton Veny Wiltshire).  More digging. 😊
