I am looking for the parents of Elizabeth Buffe Born abt 1741 in Spilsby Lincolnshire, she married John Brackenbury on 27 July 1763 at Spilsby. Any info about Parents, D.O.D or other family ( Buffe's ) would be helpful Thanks.

Elizabeth Buffe Born abt 1741 in Spilsby
This IGI entry simply assumes that she was born in the place she married and was aged 21 at marriage. It has no substance in fact. :-\
Interestingly, FreeREG has her name as BUTT http://freereg.rootsweb.com/cgi/SearchResults.pl?RecordType=Marriages&RecordID=1686651
(although I think BUFF is more likely, BUTT is unusual in Lincs).

Thanks Geoff E
I based the birth place of Elizabeth Buffe on the parish record saying that her Parish and Abode were both Spilsby. thanks.

True. However -
1) 1760s marriage registers certainly had no space for birthplace;
2) FreeREG did not intend that "abode" be entered in pre-1837 marriage transcriptions. It appears the transcriber has misunderstood the instructions. http://freereg.rootsweb.com/howto/enterdata.htm
To illustrate (1), I attach this image-
