Have you quoted the 1841 Census for James Baldwin & Ann - who are (in my opinion) the parents of Eliza Baldwin born 1826. I have the 1851 Census for this family and you will see that Eliza is not there as she married John Bennett in 1846 Abenhall, but her daughter Sarah born 1849 is staying with her grandparents :

1851 Census Abinghall
BALDWIN James 48 Labourer Abinghall
Ann 56 Little Dean
David 18 Labourer Abinghall
Elizabeth 13 Scholar Abinghall
Sophia 11 Scholar Abinghall
BENNETT Sarah Grand Daughter 2 Abinghall

David baptised 24.8.1833 Abenhall goes on to Marry Mary Malson 2.11.1853 Abenhall and there are Malson families in close proximity. Sophia was baptised 18.1.1840 Abenhall.
Parents here James Baldwin 1803 & Ann 1795 were married Abenhall 1.2.1825.

There is a possibility of another James Baldwin & Ann around the same time as there is a Mitcheldean christening for a George 15.11.1829 and a George Abenhall 8.11.1829. They could be the same person, the baptism for Eliza is at Mitcheldean 3.7.1825, but the census family matches the baptisms. I have an entire Marfell family were baptised twice at different churches, which as you can imagine caused me some confusion.
