Please could someone look up my ancestor on the 1841 census his name was James Roden and the only information I have from him is that in 1874 on his sons marriage certificate he was an ostler and living in Alphington Street Plymouth I know it is a long shot but any help much appreciated.

I have hit a blank wall with some of my ancestors and need some help .
The blanks are my Gr, Gr grandparents Jessie Pearse born 1855 in Stoke Dameral to parents Robert and Ann Pearse and Archibald Roden birth unknown but he was a soldier in 1875 on there marriage certificate and his father was James Roden living in Alphington Street occupation Ostler.
Jessie had a baby in 1874 called Archibald while she lived in Rackfield Exeter before she married. His birth certificate says father unknown but she married Archibald I assume his real father 8 months after the birth which is a mystery in itself.
The baby is on all census from 1881 - 1901 as living with his grandparents Robert and Ann where his names appear sometimes as Pearse and sometimes Roden.
The baby grew up to have his own children living in Cecil street he had a son called Archibald Roden so I am pretty sure his real father was Archibald Roden who Jessie married.
I have done allot of of looking for Jessie and Archibald for the last few years and I cannot find anything so any info or advice would be very helpful.
