Default Thomas and Mary Collingwood

Thomas and Mary Collingwood baptise two children at St Ann’s Blackfriars in 1803 (Thomas) and 1808 (Mary) although the latter was actually born in 1801.

Can anyone find a marriage for Thomas and Mary? I’m wondering if he is the Thomas Collingwood named in his father’s will in 1799 with a d.o.b. helpfully given as 31 Aug 1774 (I can’t find a baptism for that either!) The will mentions property in Huntingdonshire so marriages, births etc might be there or in London but I can’t spot them. The will:-
https://www.ancestry.co.uk/interacti...1_309881-00573 children with d.o.b. at bottom of second page.

“My” Mary Ann Collingwood stated in 1861 that she was born 1801 in Bishopsgate so this baptism has been on my radar for a while but a recent DNA match from the right branch of the family has Collingwoods originating in Huntingdonshire. I'm hoping to find a link somewhere.....

Lancelot, brother of the Thomas named in the will, was in London in 1805:

Thanks Kite - I hadn't thought to look for him. They're elusive aren't they??

It's a shame they couldn't have given Thomas a middle name instead of giving them all to Lancelot!
