Following your email to me I decided to do some searching to see if I could make some connection, now that you have said that Joseph Baldwin & Harriett Bradley are the parents of Cornelius John Baldwin. I found the census entries for them (you said in your email to me that Cornelius John had a brother Stanley) :

Carrying out further searches I found a baptism for a person who could be the Joseph above. 8th September 1839 Drybrook, parents Cornelius Baldwin & Sarah. Residence Morse Lane. Note the Morse address and Morse, place of birth in 1891.

I would appreciate Slowhands view, but I firmly believe this is the right Joseph - who just happens to be in my Family Tree - his mother Sarah being Sarah Brain. I can trace Sarah Brain back a further 4 generations. Joseph's father Cornelius Baldwin was the son of Moses Baldwin & Lucy Marfell. I can trace Lucy Marfell back a further 7 generations to my 10 times great grandparents William Marfell & Elizabeth Fitzherbert.
