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

This looks like the 1861 census for Robert Phillips. Although the age is wrong, everything else fits:
RG9; Piece: 1590; Folio: 102; Page: 9
1861
? Towednack, Cornwall
Robart Phillips 66, head, marr, farm labourer, born Zennor, Cornwall
Grace Phillips 57, wife, marr, born Towednack, Cornwall

bmd marriage index:
Marriages Sep 1854
Berryman Grace Penzance 5c 547
Bottrell Thomas Penzance 5c 547
Phillips Robert Penzance 5c 547
Semmens Margaret Penzance 5c 547

BMD death index:

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