I had a look at a couple of Trees to try and confirm info;
EG;
Charles William Lewis ROBORTS married Sep 1793 St Mary the Virgin, Bury, Lancashire to Nancy Hamilton LEAVOR
Actual entry says;
MARRIAGE:
8 Sep 1793 St Mary the Virgin, Bury, Lancashire, England
Charles Roberts - Soldier, this Parish
Nancy Leaver - Spinster, this Parish
Witness: Ralph Crompton; Thos. Crompton
Married by Banns by: Henry Unsworth Minr.
They have Charles Father Edward born c 1740 Lancashire, no other details.
Maybe?
BAPTISM: 18 Jan 1748/9 St Peter, Liverpool, Lancashire, England
Edwd. Roberts - Son of Edwd. Roberts
Occupation: Soldier
That is the only entry 1740 +/- 10 years on LancsOPC for a Edward Roberts (checked for Edward Lewis/Lewes/Louis also)
