Cambs FHS has an excellent website at
http://www.cfhs.org.uk/Search.html
which includes a baptism index 1801-37.

Nothing shows though.

But wasn't Walsoken in Norfolk?

Possibly a post on Norfolk look up requests board might get a result

Regards

I may have been in touch with Malmsbury in the past but have lost my old emails.  Our records suggest that William Pearson married Sarah Carr in 1801, his second of three wives.  Their children were Mary (1802-) and William (1805-1890).  My family line is through the son who died in Australia.  We have extensive records of this line.

An addendum to my last note, the register of marriages in Walsoken does show a Sarah Powell marrying William Pearson in 1801.  Carr is her maiden name and Powell her married name as a widow.
