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.

In 1774, on 22nd November, there is the birth of William Roby, son of Roger Roby (collier) & Alice

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.
