Researching DAYKIN of Ilkeston

I am looking for information on my maternal grandfather's family (DAYKIN) in Ilkeston. He was Thos. Bailey Daykin b 1869 and I have his siblings, parents - Richard Birch Daykin b1850 and Sarah Ann Bonsall b1850, and grandparents Richard Daykin (Snr) b1808 Kirk Hallam and Ann Clemerson(various spellings) b 1809 Loughborough. Richard (Snr) was a carpenter model maker and I have all his census listings. I am hoping to trace any siblings for him and parents if possible. As Birch has been a male Christian name in the family to the present day, I am guessing that Samuel Daykin of Ilkeston and Sarah Birch who married in Kirk Hallam 1804 are possibly his parents. That could possibly be Samuel Daykin (b1784) son of Joseph Daykin b1740 Ilkeston and Catherine Meakin b1742. I have no "proof" of my last two statements though. Richard Snr. had a daughter Eliza E Daykin(b c 1830 who became Eliza E Moon and another daughter Eliabeth b c 1832 who became Elizabeth Higgit.

Any info. on the above would be much appreciated.
