You could try www.ukcensusonline.com, looking under both names for the years before 1870. Enfield was a Municipal Borough from 1850 within the county of Middlesex (and now part of the London Borough of Enfield). If in the surrounding area, your grandfather could possibly have been from the counties of Hertfordshire or Essex. I note that there is a CD containing Enfield marriages 1551-1837 listed at www.ihgs.ac.uk/library/pdf/london_and_middlesex.pdf, which might well have details of his grandparents or even parents - you might at least pick up one (or probably both) of the two names you have. If you can gather together as much information as possible from the web, you might get some help from the Edmonton Hundred Historical Society, which includes in its scope modern Enfield (http://edmontonhundred.freeukisp.co.uk/). If you identify local archives which have to be seen on the spot, I'm not far from Enfield and could possibly have a look for you, once you have more detail. If he was active in the Baptist Church, it's possible he was mentioned in the Journal of the Baptist Missionary Society (I have found reports from Trinidad that helped in my research), for which you could contact the BMS archives, noted at http://archiveshub.ac.uk/features/03022502.html.
