Looking for Ekins Ekines of Blunham Bedford England

I have traced my ancestors back to my Great x 5 Grandfather Thomas Ekins/Ekines born c 1740. Thomas then married Elizabeth Moor at Blunham, Bedford in 1767. Thomas, a carpenter, then took over 'The Horseshoes' public house in Blunham in 1769. Beyond this is is far less clear as to who the parents of these two people were. If anyone has any helpful information to share it would be really helpful.
