Robert James Bennett and Alice J Bennett - St. Paul's / Shoreditch

[3lle00]

Hi, I am looking for some information on the daughter of my 3rd Great Grand Uncle Robert James Bennett who was born in Wiltshire one of eight children who were born across Wiltshire, Channel Islands and Dorset. Many of the boys moved to London where they had families including Robert James. Robert was born in 1838 Donhead Wiltshire and appears in the census' as follows
1841 born Wiltshire living in Warminster with family
1851 - born donhead living in shaftesbury with family
1861 - missing

1871 - Durhead [Donhead] born Wiltshire 1841, living with Eliza Bennett 23 born southwark and Alice J Bennett 2, born Shoreditch. I cannot be definite of the occupation, but it looks like letter caviar though presume it could be carrier.

1881 - Porter as a cabinet maker born in Donhead 1839. Living with an Eliza Bennett born c.1843 in Marlybone

1891- here it says his wife is Emma (given I have the correct census, as the birth year and place are correct as Wiltshire and 1839]. Here Emma is born in 1835, Middlesex. Also living with a Lacy Ryan son aged 31? and Wm Ryan 54m Maid though I feel like these may have been switched.
onwards - ?

I cannot seems to find any information on the marriage of Robert to either an Eliza or an Emma. Nor can I see on the GRO an Alice Jane Bennett or just an Alice Bennett that would fit. Nor can I see any deaths. I also know that many of the siblings children, of Robert did move to Portsea, Hampshire and even Cornwall.

Any suggestion or help appreciated as to what happened to Alice, Robert or his supposed wife if he did marry them?

Thanks in advance

If you look at the 1891 image - the Ryan’s are a separate household - Bennett’s  are 44 & Ryans are 45

Death Registration    Pancras, London,

There's a birth  of a James Bennett, mmn Acock, in Shoreditch Q4 1870, and a death in same district and quarter

ah thats interesting there was a Alice bennett I saw on the GRO whose mothers maiden name was also Acock, in 1869 Shoreditch. That would make sense for James if he was not in the 71 Census. Though annoyingly I cannot see a marriage of Acock to a Bennett that matches up.

1851 entry shows his father as James so not the same as 1866 marriage
