Please can you re-post? I've tried to make sense of what you have stated, and tried to look up records, but none of this makes sense. Please try to be more specific and accurate with dates, and I'll see what I can find.

Aha! This makes much more sense - I was looking for a Richard BOWDEN, not KENNARD. 
I think you'll find that Elizabeth's name was probably BOWDEN, not BOWYDEN.
The 1841 census for Loddiswell is indexed at     
http://homepages/ihug.co.nz/~our4bears/L~DD41.htm
and you can ask for free look-ups from the parish registers at
http://homepages/ihug.co.nz/~our4bears/L~DDI.htm 
Hope this helps.

Ok there was another John Kennard having children at this time in Loddiswell. His wife was Mary Ann LIGHT.
They had a Robert born 1843.

The censuses I posted have Robert on 1841 census but not on 1851.  I cant find him 1851, he could have died.

Do you have your Roberts marriage cert? and where did he marry Leah GOODMAN? I cant find marriage in England for them.

Off to bed,
trish

The only Leah GOODMAN  I can find is:
HO107/1876 Folio 9, Page 10
Wodden House, Kingsbridge, Devon
William GOODMAN Head Marr 38 Ag Lab b. Chivelstone, DEV
Eliza GOODMAN Wife Marr 29 b. South Pool, DEV
Leah GOODMAN Dau 9 Scholar b. West Alvington, DEV
Elizabeth GOODMAN    Dau 11 b. Kingsbridge, DEV
Thomas SOUTHWOOD Neph 2   b. West Alvington, DEV
A marriage is shown in Plymouth in 1866 for a Leah GOODMAN, but not to a Robert KENNARD.   
The 1861 census shows a John KENNARD born 1799, Loddiswell, Blacksmith, married to a Mary ANn b. 1801, children: James 22 & Robert 18, both Smiths, all living in Loddiswell.
The same family is also shown in 1851, with children: John 19, Mary A. 15, James 12, Susan 10 and RObert 7.
So, as Trish rightly points out, there are 2 John KENNARD families. Which is yours?
