My 4 great grandfather, John Marchant, and his wife Sarah Sainsbury had a bulk christening on 15 September 1784 for Edward, Ann, Richard Robert Joseph and Hester.

Assuming they were not sextuplets :-) is there any way of finding their years of birth?

Its highly unlikely that sextuplets survived their birth nor, probably, their mother!

If you can find their /deaths/burials you might be lucky to have their yob recorded.
Trowbridge has an OPC and downloadable PR transcriptions which might help. I've accidently downloaded 14 pages of marriages!!

Have you seen the original of the christening records? Often birth dates are written in the margin.
