Baptism lookup request, Luton - Lucy STRANGE

[jkgla]

Could someone kind please check Bedfordshire registers for LUCY STRANGE, daughter of George Gurney Strange and Elizabeth (nee Fowler), probably born Leagrave or Luton about 1780 (parents, married in 1778)
Lucy is mentioned in her father's will, and had an illegitimate son, Alfred Strange, but I can't find her baptism anywhere, and Luton registers don't seem to be included in the Internet Archive 'Bedfordshire parishes'
Many thanks in advance.

George Strange married Elizabeth Fowler of Toddington on 9 July 1778 at Luton.
This was by licence & the marriage allegation transcript dated 7 July 1778 has George Strange age 19 servant of Luton to Elizabeth Fowler age 21 of Toddington. Surety was by George Gregory, school master of Toddington. 

There are no baptisms of children of George & Elizabeth Strange at Luton or at Toddington from 1778 onwards.

From the Beds FHS Surnames Index the only baptism of Lucy Strange (abode Fancote) is at Toddington in 1832. Could this be an adult baptism? - might be good to get this baptism detail from Beds Archives to see who she is. Is it coincidental that her father George Gurney Strange has his will indexed 1832 - although I cannot find a burial for him.

Could she be this Lucy on 1851 census?

Seems very likely Ladyhawk....  so not the daughter of George & Elizabeth
