given that the s ending on surnames is still not settled at that time in south Wales ( I've come across, say, a David family in 1841 who are Davies in 1851), there's this family in 1841, occupation ties in with the October 1822 baptism where John is noted as clerk

1841 Cadoxton Village, Cadoxton HO107/1421/5 folio 7 pg 5
John Harry 60 parish clerk
Harriet 59 not born in county
John 15 pudler in tin works

odd that John's age has been rounded down as it should have been, but Harriet's hasn't.

Possible marriage
