Birth and death information from John and Ev who looked it up in the Fowlmere censuses from 1841 to 1891. The only anomally is that he was supposed to have been 77 years old in 1847. Confirmed with own reserach.
1841 census for Foulmire, aged 66, ag lab, married to Sarah. Living in same house with the HOPWOOD family. The house was owned by Ann HOPWOOD.
Looked for baptism in Fowlmere, Thriplow, Melbourn and both Duxford parishes. No joy. Next try non-conformist records.
267. Mary PEARCE was buried on 11 May 1809 in Fowlmere, Cambridgeshire, England.
No baptisms in Fowlmere before 1804 but plenty of marriages. This suggests non-conformity as non-conformist marriages were not recognised. All marriages had to be performed in the Church of England. Strong possibility non-conformist.

Information from Cottenham parish register.
There are lots of Moores in Cottenham but Sarah's baptism is clearly not there. No Moore's in the right time frame in Longstanton. No Moore's baptised in Oakington after 1762. Try non-conformist records as these are quite strong for Cottenham.

No Hawks in Oakington or Cottenham. No Hawks in Long Stanton before 1785.
Burial note: of Oakington aged 92. This probably means he lived with his daughter at some point after she was married. This family may be non-conformists due to the sparsity of records. Could also try Westwick.
