William Frith Derbyshire

Hello
I am researching William Frith who lived in Great Hucklow Derbyshire (about 10 miles from Chapel) and was born about 1748. Are you sure that the William Frith who married Mary Lomas in 1772 is the son of John and Sarah? There are a number of other William Friths born in Chapel in the 1740s. I have a suspicion that the one born in 1747 (son of John Frith and Sarah Brammel) might be the one who married Martha Chapman in 1771 and lived in Great Hucklow. We cannot find his birth in any of the parishes local to Great Hucklow but his eldest daughter was Sarah and he also had a son called John. There is no Sarah or John in Martha's family. We may be wrong, but it would be useful to know if you have evidence that the William who married Mary Lomas was definitely the son of John and Sarah.
Thanks
