As a result of your query I have just spent a few hours looking at this and the answer is now YES - I can tell you who each of these men were.
Robert Wallis m. Annie Dennis - he was baptized at Madron 18th January 1852 son of Thomas Wallis and Ann Trembath who married at Sancreed 21st May 1831. Robert was the youngest of 12 children and died at Wallhalla in Victoria in 1904. The death record shows his father as James Wallis but this is incorrect.
Robert Wallis m. Sarah Hotchin - he was baptized at St Just in Penwith 8th June 1851 son of Robert Wallis and Jane Edwards who married at St Just 20th February 1851.
It took me quite a while to sort these out as there were three Robert Wallis marriages where the bride was named Jane with all three families coming to Victoria. The other two were:-
Robert Wallis married Jane Roberts at St Just 2nd June 1847 - he was a Metropolitan Policeman at St George Hanover Square in London in 1851 and arrived in Victoria a few years later. Robert Wallis married Jane Trudgen at Madron 11th September 1852 - had two children in Cornwall before coming out to South Australia where the next six children were born and then moved across to Daylesford in Victoria where another seven children were born.
There was also another Robert Wallis who married Amelia Osborn in Cornwall and they also came out to Victoria. By tracking the families of all these men and locating death records in the indexes I managed to separate and identify each of them.
