If they were still alive in 1841 they could have been married.

Can you tell us how you got to these people please to give us a better veiw of the family?

Thank you for your response. Is there any way of finding out Catherine's surname and where she came from. Not asking much I know , family folk law implied there could be Scottish ancestry
thanks again

Which one of their children is connected to you please?

I have looked on Family Search for a marriage of a Robert to a Catherine as thats the only place you are likely to find anything.

Do you know who any of their children married? Without more info we can't do a lot for you.
