If he wed a susannah. When and where do you "see" a marriage (or offspring from it)
Ditto for Ruth.

In 1841 Robert appears to be living with wife Elizabeth and family in Stalbridge, Dorset - with Elizabeth listed as not born in County. There appear to be no children born after the start of registration to check his wifes maiden name
There is this possible marriage which ties in well with the husbands residence although the wifes name is Tabitha :-\
Robert Senior
Marriage date 15 May 1815
Spouse Tabitha Jeans
Parish Henstridge Somerset
Marital status - bachelor
Residence Stalbridge
Spouse spinster
Spouse's residence Henstridge
Robert is a widow by 1851 and the GRO Death index has a death of an Abitha below (might a Tabitha??) Could she also have been known as Elizabeth :-\
SENIOR, ABITHA Age 53
GRO Ref: 1843 S Qrter STURMINSTER Vol 08 Page 6

There is a marriage between a Robert Senior and Susannah Sims on 07 Oct 1775, can't find a marriage to a S Symms at the right time to be for Robert 1794.
Baptisms in Stalbridge with parents Robert and Susannah
Joseph 19 Oct 1777
John 12 Jun 1780
Susannah 10 Jun 1783
Sarah 01 Jan 1786
Edith 25 Dec 1788
Susannah 15 Apr 1792 (presumably 1st one died)
Robert 25 Dec 1794
So looks like Susannah was the mother Robert 1794, but another Robert was his father not Cleophas.
Cleophas married mary Garrinch on 21 Aug 1777. He was a widower.

To add to the confusion
There is a baptism for a Robert Senior in Stalbridge on 20 Mar 1770 s/o Cleopas and Ruth (so Ruth must be first wife)
Cleopas and 2nd wife Mary had a son William baptised on 24 Feb 1780
Cleopas died in 1813 aged 81 so born abt 1732
-
Cleopas baptised 25 Sep 1732 s/o Robert and Mary

Cleopas and Ruth's first child (Mary) was baptised 09 Sep 1762. Surname recorded as SEIGNIOR
By the time son John baptised on 09 Jun 1768, surname spelt SENIOR
