I have Elizabeth's name from the christening record for her son, Benjamin King (http://www.genealogistsforum.co.uk/Forum/showthread.php?t=11186&highlight=benjamin+king), in Beccles Suffolk, England in 1783. Benjamin's father was Joseph King (http://www.genealogistsforum.co.uk/Forum/showthread.php?t=16312&highlight=joseph+king), but I have nothing more :(

Marriage on FamilySearch: Joseph King / Elizabeth Meek 15 Apr 1780 Wickhampton, Norfolk. Possible as Beccles is very close to the county border. This marriage is on FreeREG and it says they married by licence but doesn't say whether either of them was from another parish or county.

Looked at the image in the Archdeacon's Transcripts and it says both of Wickhampton. But I can't see any baptisms for children of this couple at Wickhampton in the next few years following 1780, and I see there was a Benjamin King having children in Wickhampton so could be a connection?
