For Fontenoy Segom has a very nice set engraved by Daniel Lepeltier:

The time period is a bit tougher though the wonderful Neckel sets of the Army of the Blue King can be adapted.  If you are a member G. Bistulfi has a great article on this period  in the Journal #82 with many examples from has magical collection.

Marlborough Period is the War of the Spanish Succession I think.
There are several editors (not complete):Zinnfiguren Schum - former Wagner (northern states - useable for english troops)
Zinnfiguren Wilken - former Kühn (northern states - Marlborough portrait figure included)
Kieler Zinnfiguren (list 1700)
All have websitesHeinrichsen has a big set for Battle of Blenheim (Hochstädt)
I am not an expert but Soldiers vor Seven Years War come  from many editors (Grünewald for example - there are french hussars for 1740 -63 for example)But I dont know how 1756-63  soldiers fit to 1745.

Addendum
For Fontenoy look at the Grünewald Catalog 1740 - 63 Sachsen, Braunschweig, GroßbritannienAll the british figures are listed for period 1740 - 63http://www.zinnfiguren-gruenewald.de/pages/ggpag.htmlSo they should fit the Battle of Fontenoy
