My gg-g'father William Thomas Moore married Sophia Cowell at Santon on 6 Aug 1861. I am trying to trace William's parentage. Is anyone able to help?

William and Sophia emigrated to Australia around 1863. According to information provided on the birth certificates of his children in Australia (all but the eldest were born in Victoria), we believe he was born in Ramsey and it would have been around 1835-36.

I've tried the IGI but without knowing his parents names its hard to come up with anything conclusive. As yet I've also been unable to trace his death hence cannot glean any ideas of his parentage from there. I'm hoping that someone may be able to provide a lead on this. Any help much appreciated.
