Need help with this mystery

[Julz83]

I've been weighing up information for days now but I'm still very unsure.

Robert Davies born 1773 The Rock, Saint Martin's, Shropshire had 2 sisters, that I know of, Ann born 1770 and Rebecca born 1775.

Now, their parents, I think, were Robert Davies and Mary.

This is where I am at a loss.

I have no date of birth for Robert and no date of birth or maiden name for Mary, but I have found a marriage in Saint Martin's in 1755 between a Robert Davies and a Mary Boodle. This would mean there was 15 years before the birth of their first child Ann.
I have searched marriages right up to 1770 and can't find any other Robert Davies marrying a Mary.
But.........I have also found a record for a Robert Davies of The Rock and Ann having a child named Mary in 1768!

I am completely confused. Even though I haven't got much to go on I'm sure Robert and Mary are the correct people.

Can anyone help solve this mystery?

Julie.

Thanks CaroleW

I started this new post as I didn't want things being mixed in with my last post.

I have found another birth which fits in with the earlier marriage you found...
Name: John Davies
Gender: Male
Baptism Date: 20 Jun 1756
Baptism Place: Saint Martins, Shropshire, England
Father: Robert Davies   
Mother: Mary   
FHL Film Number: 501469

Thanks.

I've now pulled up some other results of a Robert born 1751 and a Mary born 1752.

It means the marriage in 1755 wouldn't be the correct people but it means they would have been young when they first had children.

My first options were more believable and if they did have a son in 1756 this leaves a 14 year gap before having the other 3 

I don't know if I'll ever be able to complete these ones to be able to go further back on my tree.

Julz, Wondering who Mary's parents were?
I have a connection to Boodles in Shropshire, and would like to investigate if ther eis a link to your Boodle family or not.

Did you ever solve your query Julz83?

I've now pulled up some other results of a Robert born 1751 and a Mary born 1752.

Are these results baptisms? Are they children of the same parents?
A Robert born 1751 could have been the one who is father of Ann in 1770. Could also have been the father of the 1768 child with an Ann [maybe out of wedlock, maybe she died so he married Mary. Maybe Mary was from another parish so they married there?

looking at the marriage between Robert Davies and Mary Boodle it says Robert is a Blacksmith
the baptisms of Ann and Rebecca say a sawyer
might help
witnesses were John Boodle and John Edwards

I think the robert davies a
in 1751 is son of Evan Davies & Mary ?
