The only one I could find was this (on the Lancs OPC website):

Baptism: 20 Mar 1785 All Saints, Wigan, Lancashire, England
Matthew Danson - eight Son of Roger Danson & Betty (formerly Walsh)
Born: 14 Mar
Abode: Scoles
Occupation: Carpenter
Mother's Parents: James & Margt. Walsh
Register: Baptisms 1779 - 1799, Page 127
Source: Original register at Wigan Archives

Where does his year of birth come from?

The child whose baptism I found was buried aged 10.

Burial: 4 Jul 1796 All Saints, Wigan, Lancashire, England
Matthew Danson - Son of Roger Danson
Age: 10
Abode: Scoles
Occupation: Carpenter
Cause of Death: Weakness

If your man married in 1793 he might have been born before 1773.

Yes, there is an old thread:

We already found the baptism and some more information, so it would be best for you to read through the old thread, benrymnd.
