There's also a Richard & Ann Fagg couple who had children in Rye, Sussex:

Elizabeth 1788
Sarah 1782
Richard 1786

Possibly too late for your Richard to be their father.

If you’re alleged to have a direct link, the best course of action is for you to work backwards systematically

This is possibly the marriage of the couple from Rye in Sussex so wrong surname for Anne:-

First name(s) Richard
Last name Fagg
Name note -
Marriage year 1782
Marriage date 1782
Marriage place Rye
Spouse's first name(s) Anne<<<<<<
Spouse's last name Trench<<<<<<

Baptism date 24 Sep 1755
Person forename Richard
Person sex M
Father forename Richard
Mother forename Ann

Although it's pure speculation, and proves nothing about your Richard 1729 -

(as Erika says, it's best to work back to these people step by step - in fact I would say it's the only way to be sure you're related)

maybe Richard (born 1755 in Iden) is the same Richard who married in Rye in 1782.

According to Google Maps, Iden is only 2.5 miles from Rye.
