Hi Eric

I am looking at the Westbury records here, and I cant see a birth for your John in 1728 in same village, the nearest I can see to that date is

 20 Apr 1731 John, s. of William Davies & Mary bap.

as for Mary Cooper  the nearest I can see in Westbury to your dob is,

 10 Dec 1734 Mary, d. of Thomas Cooper & Dorothy bap.

 27 Jan 1753 John Davies & Mary Cooper mar.

I tried a search on the Hereford diocese records using the key words " Davies Miller"  which should throw up any entry with these two words in ,  I got back one hit

Shropshire: Pontesbury - Parish Registers, Hereford Diocese

 05 Feb 1754 Richd. Davies, miller bur.

Best of luck Eric
