I can only find two marriages in Leicestershire, which might be of help.

Francis Sutton to Elizabeth Wood 22 Oct 1764 Knighton, Leicester

No burials for Francis in Leicestershire but others in the south of England

John Sutton to Elizabeth Bunnington 26 Nov 1762 Woodhouse, Leicester

Two burials for John 17 February 1768, Kegworth, Leicester & 13 January 1771 St. Nicholas, Leicester

Hello Colin
Thanks for your reply.
Both marriages are possible.
Looked on Family Search and it looks like the Woodhouse union, John and Elizabeth continued to have children beyond the re marriage date, in 1775, 1782 so at the moment leaning towards Francis Sutton and Elizabeth Wood of the Knighton marriage, Cant find any family for them in Family Search at all
Could Francis be buried as Frank ?

Chris, I could only find 3 births in Woodhouse, the last being 1768. Unless they moved elsewhere in the county. However I agree Francis seems to fit geographically. Soundex will usually pick up Frank and there are none on-line. Perhaps someone on the forum has access to records in Leicestershire?
