I just edited the Phillips family postings under Censuses to include Robert Phillips 1871. Aged 86 with a 40 year-old wife and 3 year-old daughter!
Also posted the marriage under marriages

Robart Phillips 66, head, marr, farm labourer, born Zennor, Cornwall

Kris
the Robert Philips-Mary Row marriage details seem to confirm what we've seen (unsubstantiated) elsewhere that Robert's father was Francis.
