Which ones are "the people"? "ovington1_1" has listed two distinct Robert SOUTARs: one born c.1858 and one born c.1838. The latter one was a doctor who would better fit your original query except that his birth precedes the marriage by 17 years. The 1858 Robert was an unemployed painter in 1881 so could he have become a doctor? Possibly the older Robert was a cousin whom he followed into the medical profession in his 20s or even later.
