There is a baptism for Sarah, daughter of Robert and Jane, at Kegworth, 12 November 1740.

I think people must pick a random date out of thin air sometimes because I can't find the 1739 baptism either!  ;D

I decided to follow up the 1775 Manchester marriage. The couple were married by license, John was a hatter. I can't see any baptisms for any children John and Sarah Williams might have had but there are two Williamson baptisms at Heaton Norris for the sons of a John and Sarah Williamson...

30 June 1776, John son of John and Sarah Williamson
31 January 1779, Joseph son of John and Sarah Williamson

I suppose Williams could have been a clerical error? Or perhaps it isn't even the same couple! If it is my Sarah, then could we be looking at an elopement here? Hence the license and lack of contact between her and her father?

Robert Tebbett was married to a lady named Ann, no marriage yet.

This marriage could be a contender
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:QP47-PND5

The image says it was by licence. Marriage record and marriage licence are available on Find My Past

and there is at least one child for a couple with these names baptised in this Robert's home parish of Kingston upon Soar

Ancestry trees have Robert married to either Ann Turner or Ann Hardy, they all have a date of 14 Jan 1739 at St Nicholas, Leicester.

I looked at the image and it gives an Ann Turner, no mention of an Ann Hardy so no idea where the tree owners got Ann Hardy from.

Snip from the register. Comparing the T in Thomas on the first line and the J in John (second line ) and Joseph (sixth line) I'd say Robert's surname is down as Jebbet.

Still a possible, maybe misheard, but I'd bear it in mind.
