On William's first marriage his father was a book-keeper and on the second he was a marble-mason so don't know if this baptism is correct or not:

Baptism Date: 7 Jan 1820
Parish: Chorley, St Laurence
Father: John Raby - Labourer

Possible?

Hi Val, you say in your opening post that he married Elizabeth Millner, is that a typo?

This looks to be the marriage of the chap on the 1861, going by the other names in the household:

Marriage: 9 Nov 1845 St Laurence, Chorley, Lancashire, England
William Raby - 23, Spinner, Bachelor, Preston St.
Elizabeth Meriner - (X), 23, Spinster, North St.
Groom's Father: John Raby, Book-keeper
Bride's Father: George Meriner, Spinner
Witness: Thomas Blackburn, (X); Catherine Whalley, (X)
Married by: J. S. Master
Register: Marriages 1837- 1853, Page 127, Entry 253

From LancsOPC
.................................................................................................................

If this is his second marriage then his father's occupation is completely different:

Marriage: 25 Mar 1864 Holy Trinity, Bolton, Lancashire, England
William Raby - 40, Spinner, Widower, Reservoir St
Priscilla Shaw - (X), 44, Widow, Hilton Row
Groom's Father: John Raby, Marblemason
Bride's Father: James Hurst, Blacksmith
Witness: Thomas Fielding, (X); Elizabeth Fielding, (X)
Married by Certificate by: J Henry May
Register: Marriages 1862 - 1867, Page 72, Entry 144
