      Though the censuses suggest he always found employment in the Salcombe area, Robert was "of Devonport" at the time of his marriage in 1886. His Irish born wife was "of Salcombe" so he must have been in Salcombe enough around this time for them to court.

      Kildare must be a house name, not a hamlet - not only does it not sound Devonshire but Robert's wife Kate was born in Kildare.

      With the banns in Salcombe and Devonport, it is higly probable that the marriage was in one of these 2 churches, and if so from the Registration District it must have been Salcombe.
