I'm guessing it's from the Cornwall OPC
http://www.cornwall-opc-database.org/moreinfo.php?ID=272830&dbtype=baptisms

Christening on 12 Jan 1852 of
James age 5
Richard age 3
John (don't know if he's the one who is buried 2 days later)

parents Thomas Henry and Elizabeth

Family at HO107/1918/341 19 in 1851 - very faint image unfortunately.

How we can make 100% sure these are the same family, I don't know yet ...

This looks like the correct Elizabeth in 1861:

1861
RG9/1595 11 16
Penzance, Cornwall

Elizabeth Hugh, head, wid, 38, House Keeper, b. St Just
Elizabeth, dau, 7, b. Paul
Ellen, dau, 1, b. Penzance

Shame none of the boys seen in 1851 are with them...

(Richard and Thomas are in service)

The details for the marriage are on the Cornwall OPC site
