I've got that annoying marriage record from 1700 in one spelling and everything later in another. To add to the problem the 1700 marriage and baptism of first child within the year are different counties.
There isn't anything likely for a baptism for either parent, well maybe one for the father but it's a leap of faith, he would have been a youngster and in yet another county if it is him. I'd love to crack this one, it's been eluding another researcher for over 4 decades.

My fire's extinct, my forge decay'd, and in the dust my vice is laid
My coal is spent, my iron's gone
My nails are drove, my work is done
Lord receive my soul
