Looking at member submissions for Lightfoot in Clapham, there are a couple of other marriages which don't appear on the extracted part of the IGI.

I suspect that these may have got caught in the LDS's misguided clean-up of the IGI some years ago when it was one database, and the LDS deleted a number of entries which were identical to other entries. Very commendable, except that in their wisdom they only
deleted the extracted entry leaving just the member submission, which as we all know, can vary in quality between well researched and pure fiction!

Reference to the transcript is needed to confirm their veracity.

An old message board post gives Jane's 1798 birthplace as Trim, Meath, Ireland. But as the poster didn't know her parents and there's no source, I don't know how the poster knew this. Perhaps Trim was an army base?

Was it you that directed me towards James being in the Militia?

Have so far found in Clapham:
Mary Lightfoot (abt 1767) x Benjamin Noble (m 1788)
Elizabeth Lightfoot x Joseph Wickins (m 1795)
Jane Lightfoot x Thomas Field (m 1802)
John Lightfoot (abt 1777) x Elizabeth West (m 1803)
Ann Lightfoot x Thomas Cradock (m 1803)

And then there's James Craddock from Clapham marrying Jenny/Jane Crutchley in Gouldington in  1790.

Are they all siblings? Is there any way I could find out?

the Trim info comes from the 1861 census...

Could get the witnesses at each of these marriages to see if they are other related Lightfoot's. Need to be at Bedford Archives to do this. You could always email them

I'm inclined to purchase the CD with all Clapham parish records on it. Though that would't give me witnesses, it would provide info about James and his siblings and parents. And it'll be cheaper than travelling to the Bedford Archives myself  ;)

How would it provide information about James' parents?

Even cheaper would be to order and view the microfilm of Clapham parish register at your nearest LDS Family History Centre
