I'm not aware that ages were given in the parish register for marriages pre-1837 (I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong :) ).  If your great x4 grandfather lived until the time of the 1841 census you'd get some idea from that.  It can be quite frustrating, I know - I've got one ancestor who altered his age every time the census was taken and it's different again on his marriage and death certificates! ::)

Sorry I can't be of more help.
