Why not.  If you look at my website page on him I know almost nothing about his origins. Having evidently told them he was born in Halstead in 1743 ...I was unable to find him there between 1740 & 1744. I did look fora Hornblow family there and found nothingbut it was  some time ago .
I had quite forgotten that I found an record and an image of his marriage in 1775 in St Bodolf, I ve just this morning added it to the webpage. One of the witnesses has a most unusual name, Morell Young, I might see if I can find him....
I will check out the link you sent.
Most interesting and Thanks

since 2011  and 2014 I discovered this about Sarah Hornblow
Born but not baptised c1789, Essex, England,
 m. (1) 17 Jun 1810, in St Martins in the Fields, George MOORE,
m. (2) 29 Jan 1816, in St Pauls, Deptford, Bucks, England, John Henry CADLE, b. c1795, occupation Tallow Chandler, d. 11 Oct 1823, near Salem, Cape, RSA,
m (3) 7 Dec 1824, in Grahamstown, Cape, RSA, James THOMAS,
m. (4) 7 Dec 1828, in Port Elizabeth, Cape, RSA, Charles GURNEY.
Sarah died 3 Nov 1843, Port Elizabeth, Cape, RSA.

John Hornblow (a Baptist, and later a Particular baptist  Minister, hence no newborn baptism.)  Mother, Elizabeth
 Boyd's  Marriages has  JOHN  HORNBLOW  1775  Place  LONDON  St George Botolph Lane  London spouse    Elizabeth    no family name given
source Society of Genealogists
 I have only been able to find what I believe to be a few of their children.
 A remark made by a Dr Perrot when they arrived in Braintree to take up his post as ordianed Baptist Minister leads me to think there were more.
" I note the largeness of your family and the smallness of your purse.." the Dr offered Reverend Hornblow a guinea a week which John Hornblow refused choosing to live on the stipend of £40 a year. Most of the children that I have found were born after they arrived in Braintree in 1779.
 A Martha Hornblow witnessed  Sarahs Marriage to George Moore in 1810, she may have been an older child or she may have been Martha Hornblow wife of Ebenezer Hornblow who both witnessed Sarah’s second marriage
Who Ebenezer was I have not established , he could have been John Hornblow’s brother but have been unable to confirm this so far.
