Linking to the register image on FindMyPast (sub required).

Her name certainly looks like Freeks.

The transcript on Family Search as her as Frooks
But never trust a transcript also best to see the real thing as above

Edit (just to prove a point)
The above links to a tree that has her listed as "Elizabeth Freer"
and married 1 May 1774 ?
BUT if you click on her name direct it goes to another tree where she is listed as Elizabeth Frooks

Two more similar names baptised in Leadenham, children of John and Susannah:-

Mary Froaks 23 Aug 1696
William Froakes/Freakes 7 Jan 1693

Susan Freaks buried 12 Dec 1709

Mary Freaks married Thomas Lilly on 28th January 1723 in Carlton Le Moorland

Jane Freak daughter of William and Ann baptised in Welbourn on 17th September 1721

[ColC]

Waddington birth/baptisms, Thomas & Elizabeth (Tho & Eliz)

Ellen 11 Aug 1717/8 Sep 1717
Thos 11 Jan 1719/8 Feb 1719
Eliz 7 Dec 1720/8 Jan 1721
Robt 24 Dec 1721/21 Jan 1722 burial 1 Sep 1781 age 59
Susan 24 Aug 1725/29 Sep 1725 burial 26 Jan 1744
Mary 15 Jun 1731/11 Jul 1731 burial 15 Apr 1734 infant
Stephen 2 Apr 1733/8 Apr 1733

So if they followed the English naming pattern, from GC1 post, Thomas & Elizabeth would be the one for Thomas. This would leave Robert & Ellen for Elizabeth, if the record survived. However some varied the naming pattern.
