Here you are Margaret.
The information on Alice and Mary Cornish 1864 is address Nelson Street South father's occupation Coal Dealer.
James Alfred Cornish 1874 address Thorpe Street and father's occupation Coal Dealer.

Just as a bonus there is 7th Dec 1904 Harry Cornish son of James Alfred and Katherine address 69 Bromsgrove Street father's occupation Over Mantle Maker. I hope this is useful. Wendy
 
Baptism Lookups

WOW ! THANK YOU VERY MUCH for this prompt reply, you have
helped me greatly...& the added info on the 1904 baptism of Harry
Cornish is a brilliant bonus. Much appreciated.

St Martins Baptism UPDATE:

Hello Wendy,
just wanted to say thanks again for the info on James Cornish, the Thorp Street address given meant that he must have been living with his Grandmother & as he was 9 or 10 when baptised I suspected that this might be because he was going into the Bluecoat Charity School ( like his aunt & Uncles many years before ). Sure enough I was able to find his nomination paper in the B'ham archives. He was an orphan & had he not
been accepted would have gone into the workhouse. He was back with his Grandmother on the 1881 census living in Inge street as a 16 year old Printer's apprentice.
My thanks again, & I thought it would be nice for you to know that the info you gave was acted upon.
Margaret.;)
