Thomas Leece mystery

I was wondering if anyone had any ideas about a Thomas Leece who I cannot trace. According to the IGI, he was married to Elizabeth Clarke in 1791 in Arbory, but there is no birth record. The only Thomas Leece's I can find in a relevant time span were born in Braddan or Marown and married someone other than Elizabeth Clarke. I suspect he may have been illegitimate, thus listed under his mother's name, but I have no idea who she could be. Can anyone help please?

Thanks

Jane
