Ekins Ekines of Blunham Bedford England

I have traced my ancestors back to Thomas Ekins/Ekines who was born c 1740 and married Elizabeth Moor at Blunham in 1767. Thomas, a carpenter, then took over 'The Horseshoes' public house in Blunham in 1769. Beyond this it becomes far less clear as to who the parents of these two people were. If anyone has any information to share it would be really helpful.
