Unfortunately Robert Millar Strathern died aged 26 in 1835 (buried St James Westminster 10 May 1835) so no census entries for him.

He was a tailor, of Portland St, according to the 1832 baptism of daughter Alice.  Abode was Kemp’s Court by the time of his death, per burial register.

Looks like an OCR error - it seems to me to be Rosemount in the underlying document.

I see something like 'Rossfinic'  ??? rather than 'Rosefinie'.

ADDED: and this google book excerpt mentions Rosefinnick in Ayrshire

"The lands of Fenwick....appear to have been divided into two holdings "Ross-Finnick and Wattis-Finnick""

Excellent bit of sleuthing ShaunJ and everyone - here's the image of that 1804 baptism from Fenwick, Ayrshire. This Alexander was indeed born in Ross / Rose Fenwick. I think we have our answer.
Many thanks to all.
