The earliest recording for issue of Francis and Elizabeth is the baptism of Thomas at Stathern 13 Jun 1742. A number of children followed. I have been unable to locate the marriage in Stathern so seeking assistance.
Elizabeth was Francis second wife with his first wife Jane HARRES was buried Stathern 13 Aug 1736.
Francis married thirdly to Elizabeth BARNES a widow who had married twice previously.
It is the marriage between Francis and Elizabeth his second wife I am seeking.

I can't see a marriage between Francis and Elizabeth in the available Leicestershire records prior to 1742. But then I can't see a marriage between Francis King and Elizabeth Barnes in Leicestershire either. :-\
-
Marriage to Jane Harres was at Stapleford 30 Jul 1731
Rest deleted ::)
-
It might be 1732, Rosie :-X
-
OK.
Francis KING & Jane HARRES married 30 Jul 1732 Stapleford, Leicestershire.
I have located one child born from this marriage but feel there should be more. The child John was baptised at Stathern 22 Apr 1733.
Jane was buried at Stathern 13 Aug 1736.
Francis secondly married Elizabeth [and this is the married I am unable to locate nor have I located a burial for Elizabeth] and their children are baptised Sathern:
Thomas 1742
Mary 1744
Philadelphia 1746
Ellen 1749
Sampson 1752
Thomas 1754
Francis then married Elizabeth HAMES at Sibson 19 Nov 1755 and as yet I am unable to find any issue nor a burial for Elizabeth HAMES. The marriage record didnt indicate she had been previously married.
Francis King & Elizabeth Hames, of age ... 19 Nov. 1755 [England, Phillimore Marriage Registers, 1531-1913]. Also on FreeReg & FamilySearch https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:NJFW-Z8M.
I made a dreadful mistake [in my original post] and wrote BARNES rather than HAMES. :-[ :'( Apologies.

Thanks for the confirmation of the correct date Bumblebee, I was working from a transcript :)

That was the marriage I deleted from my post ::) Why do you think he is the same Francis King
-
Image for the marriage is available on FindMyPast. Both of this parish, neither signed, were both of age, and the marriage was by Banns.

Bumblebee,
Which marriage please?

Do you think he isn't the same Francis??

Sorry for the delay - the Sibson, 1755 marriage image on FindMyPast - Francis transcribed as Kings.
-
I had a look at Phillimore Marriage Registers, 1531-1913 on FindMyPast and this has KING :-\ ???
-
Yes, the 'Leicestershire Marriages' image says KING, but it is transcribed as Kings ;) So if you search using Francis King and 1755, there are no results. I found it by searching for Elizabeth Hames. ;D

Good idea BumbleB,
Now if we could only find the marriage to the first Elizabeth Aug 1736 and 1742 ???
