pos. "anymore" again

[Laurence Horn]

In connection with our earlier discussion, I thought it was worth
mentioning that the OED's cite from the English Dialect Dictionary
that I reproduced--

1898 _Eng. Dial. Dict._ I. 63/1  A servant being instructed how to act,
will answer `I will do it any more.'

--was, on closer inspection of the EDD itself, from Northern Ireland,
so at least historically this was a possible construction in Ulster.
But the EDD (I.62-63) also has a number of cites of "any more than"
in positive contexts with the meaning 'only', 'but', or 'except
that', all from Wiltshire or Worcestershire:
============
I wouldn't a-gone any more than I promised to buy Dick a trumpet.

I wouldn't do it any more than I've got so much else to do.

I should be sure to go to church any more than I've not got a gownd
[sic] to my back.

I shouldn't trouble to pick them apples to-day, any more'n might be
wet tomorrow.

He's sure to come any more than he might be a bit late.
============
weird, hunh?  Does anyone know if this is still extant anywhere or
shows up in any U.S. cites?
