How do all the Basterfield/Baskerfields of Halesowen link up? And do they link to Elijah Basterfield and Mary Careless?

In the census I've found this whacking great family of bricklaying Basterfield/Baskerfields in Halesowen with father Joseph Basterfield abt 1788/91 and mother Mary 1785/91. All living in Islington most of the time.

On my tree, I have Benjamin Basterfield, b. 1822 Halesowen, parents Joseph Basterfield abt 1787 - 1861 and Mary White 1784, marrying Elizabeth Cooksey. Maybe this is Elijah's brother???

Here's my Benjamin:
1871 - New St., Hasbury
Benjamin Bastfeield Head 47 Bricklayer b. Worcs., Halesowen
Elizabeth Bastefield Wife 47 Nailor b. Staffs., Rowley
Maria Bastefield Daur 23 b. Worcs., Hasbury
John Bastefield Son 15 Brick Lab. b. Worcs., Hasbury
Thomas Baskefield Son 13 Nailor b. Worcs., Hasbury
Hannah Baskefield Daur 5 b. Worcs., Hasbury
