Unfortunately posting restrictions apply to the 1939 register so we are only able to give details that are available from the free index.
Check with your local library to see if they have free access to either -or both - Ancestry & FindMyPast

Then I definately need a copy of this and shall have to throw oodles of cash at the Essex records office
Why? If you want to look at the FindMyPast transcription check if your local library has free access or take out a free trial on FindMyPast.
You will be wasting whatever fee Essex RO charge as the original record is not going to give a fathers name or any witnesses names. It's extremely unlikely you will get any more info than is available online.

Baptisms were not witnessed in the way marriages are. Catholic baptisms show god parents names etc but the C of E ones generally just show the date of baptism & in some cases the actual birthdate.
They show the name of the parents & in the case of an illegitimate birth some churches will show her as unmarried or as a “single person”. Then it’s just the name of the person performing the baptism

Who told you he was baptised on 9.5.19 & how do they know if it’s not online?
There are only 2 other ways such a specific date would be known & that’s either by the person having the original certificate or by viewing the original record.
If either of those examples apply - the person should be able to tell you whether there was any info about his father.
EDIT - FOUND ON FS

If a father was named on the entry - it would presumably appear on the above transcription

You are looking at unproven info - probably from a badly researched tree on Ancestry of which there are hundreds. Other people copy incorrect from those trees & that multiplies the problem.
There are trees on Ancestry showing baptismal dates before the person was even born & death dates when they are still alive on census entries 10yrs later.
We always advise doing your own research.

So James is her son from her first marriage. Presumably that's where the error has come from re Elizabeth's father.

From Family Search but 1841 entry is definitely Hannah
