If the birth you have found for Catherine in 1792 in Walsoken Norfolk is correct and the parents are John and Mary Albins - I found two marriages for John Albin to Mary in the IGI

One was John Albins to Mary Boor in 1781 at Whaplode in Lincolnshire and the other was in 1785 when a John Albin married a Mary Wooldridge in Portsmouth in Hampshire.

Oops - having consulted a map I realise that Walsoken is fairly close to Whaplode - so Mary Boor is more likely to be the correct marriage.

I see that William Berry Farrow was a widower when he married Catherine - and they had a large family. I wonder where all the boys were at the time of the 1841 census. Married themselves I would imagine.
All the baptisms of the children apart from the last daughter Catherine took place at St John's in Hackney and the baptism entries say they were living at Homerton. Do you have all these records from the London Metropolitan Archives?
