Default Laurance Horrie and Maria Squibb

This couple married by Licence at St Mary Portsea on 2nd November 1815. Laurance was of HMS Pelican.

I have his British Navy Allotment declaration from before his marriage.
I can't find the couple after marriage.

The National Archives has this:
Original page number: 33 Lawrence HORRIE; Rank: Gunner; Born: [Not Given]; Age on...
This record is available from:
Ancestry
Reference: ADM 29/3/33
Description:
Original page number: 33

Lawrence HORRIE; Rank: Gunner; Born: [Not Given]; Age on entry: [Not Given]; Dates served: 2 November 1799-30 September 1818

Date: 1817-1839
Held by: The National Archives, Kew
Legal status: Public Record(s)
Language: English
Closure status: Open Document, Open Description

However, I can't find it on Ancestry.

Can anyone help me find this couple, please?

P.S. His mother was Ann and in Dorset.

Is this it on ancestry? It does say 33 at the top of the page, matching the end of that reference no.

There is a Lawrence Horrie on Find a Grave:

https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/132604672

Died 18 Jan 1846 Peterhead, Aberdeenshire. Buried at Peterhead Old Churchyard. It says on there that this is the same Lawrence as the one you're looking for, but you never know with Find a Grave what information is actually taken from the headstone or burial details and what has been added by researchers.

Edit - it does show that Maria is buried there too, 9 Nov 1839, so looks likely to be the right people.

Findmypast has Laurance Horrie listed on the 1841 Scotland census at Peterhead, age 70. Lawrance Morrie on ancestry. On Scotland's People as Laurance Horrie.

Thanks, Kate. I saw the 1841 Census but wasn't sure it was him.
Thanks for the Findagrave information, which confirms it is them.
