Robert John Martin born circa 1881Londonderry birth lookup. Father Robert John Martin

Robert John Martin (son in law of M Turner (incorrectly entered as N Turner) departing for NZ) . I know on his death certificate it said he was born Londonderry, I know on his marriage certificate (Church of Ireland) his father was also called Robert John Martin.  I am after his date of birth, his parents any siblings. Please note that he changed to Plymouth Brethren with his wife Clara Jane Martin (Nee Turner). If i use his age on his marriage certificate i have a birth year of circa 1881.

I am new to research (not my prowess) and i wonder if the following found on GRONI could be my Robert John Martin's parents: Married 27 July 1880, Robert Martin to Catherine McGroaty in Derry, Londonderry (Roman Catholic).  Clara Jane Turner's sister, Annie Ellen Turner,  left church of ireland to marry her catholic husband Felix Quinn, so this could be plausible?

The other Robert Martin born to a Robert Martin was 28/03/1880 Raleagh Down, Ireland, but this date wont work to give 28yrs of age on his marriage certificate.

I note that there is 1831 Census Maghera which has Robert Martin, i wonder if this is a great grandfather. I cant see a Robert Martin in 1841 census or 1851.
