Woods Marriage Stilton Completed

James Woods and Elizabeth ? had 9 children between 1798 and 1818 in Fletton however i am unable to find a valid marriage record save an IGI submitted entry in Stilton in 1797.I am hoping to find Elizabeth's maiden name,hoping someone may have access to PRs.

Hunts Marriage Index shows no marriage in Fletton, but there is a James WOOD marrying Elizabeth MUNTON in 1797 in Stilton, five miles from Fletton, both otp. So it does seem as though the member submission might be of the more reliable variety.

Stilton has numerous Wood(s) burials but there's only one James between 1797 and 1885, James Sturtle Woods, infant, on 16 Aug 1798. And only one Elizabeth in the same period, aged 39 on 4 June 1806. So it looks as though they moved away from Stilton.
