Ideally needs more evidence, but from my QUICK look at the available PRs, this MIGHT be the parents' marriage;

Could witness Elizabeth Roberts be John's mother or sister ?

This site's PRs contain several Baptisms which probably relate to this couple, but I'll leave that to you Linda.

Please double-check these last few suggestions for yourself..
Hopefully you'll find the above "grandparents" are in the 1841 etc census, and hopefully living near to their children, especially your John & Susannah.

Also worth searching this forum for related prior-threads, although I think both Roberts and Frowen are fairly common names locally so will take careful sorting.
