Hi there
Out of interest why do you think John's parents might be Robert & Mary? The baptism you mentioned in 1718 took place at Norwich, some 23 miles approx. from West Bradenham. Not impossible of course for the family to have moved out of Norwich looking for work - there appears to be the last recorded child's baptism in Norwich to a Robert and Mary in 1726 /27 (source www.freereg.org.uk).
According to the Bishops Transcripts on familysearch , John Thacker and Elizabeth Frost both single were married 21 Sep 1744 in West Bradenham https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-1-14264-29504-89?cc=1823613
Again from the Bishops Transcripts for West Bradenham there might be these 2 possible burials for John and Elizabeth which give an approx. birth year
John Thacker of this parish 11 March 1793 aged 85 years so born about 1708 https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-1-18567-70900-24?cc=1823613
Elizabeth widow of John Thacker from ? buried 10 June 1812 aged 92 years, so born about 1720 https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-1-14263-27864-3?cc=1823613
