Census
Note | | William Roby Id #24,265 (Principal) was at home on Census night; William could not write - he left his mark on the marriage banns document in 1794 as did his bride, Elizabeth Tatlock.
He was 69 when he died, so I have calculated that he was born circa 1747. Then I looked up baptisms in the area - it looks like the nearest is in Ormskirk or Latham (that might be the current Lytham St Anne's) and that's Henry Roby & Lydia - and further evidence is that this works with the birth of Lydia Roby in 1777 who William Makin.

Note | | William Roby Id #24,265 (Principal) was at home on Census night; Whereas I have found a record of a burial of a William Roby in 1810, there is no indication of his age - which would strengthen the conviction that this is indeed William Roby born 1774. So at this stage I am not 100% convinced. I need to get over to St Mary's in Prescot myself to look at the graves.
