Where did Francis DUFFIELD, married in 1778 in Great Melton, originate from?

Hi, Everyone,
My New Year's resolution is to try and discover the origins of my 4-times-great-grandfather Francis DUFFIELD, who married Susanna BALES on 02-05-1778 at Great Melton.  He is given in the register as being "of the parish of Barford", which is nearby Little Melton on the modern road map.  The happily married couple moved to Taverham, to the north, to raise a family, and there is a burial entry there for a Francis DUFFIELD, aged 82 on 26-06-1836, which would give him a birthdate of c.1754.
The only other Francis DUFFIELD on the IGI I can find is an individual born in Tuddenham Suffolk in 1743, but I feel that it is not the same man.
If anyone comes across a baptism for Francis Duffield in one of the villages in the area I mentioned, I would very much like to hear about it!
Very best wishes,
Keith
