What was Robert's occupation? (this should be listed on Elizabeth's marriage certificate)

Have you searched on Ros Davies' website?

There are links to lots of directories in DOWN RESOURCES at the top of this board.

No, the marriage certificate lists the bride's residence as Downpatrick but this may not be where her father lived- and even though he's not listed as deceased on the certificate he could even be dead by that time. Think you may need to widen your search area.
