Well, I was nearly right on the money: J C Bamford is the Great Nephew of Samuel Brassington Bamford, according to Bamford Limited.
It appears that Samuel and his father, Henry Bamford created a business in Uttoxeter manufacturing agricultural equipment and machinery that was then run by Henry and four of his brothers. One of these brothers, Joseph, had a son named Cyril, who in turn had a son, Joseph Cyril Bamford. Joseph worked for a time with the business before setting up his own business, JC Bamford (Excavators) Ltd.
My Mother Anne Maud Teresa Bamford was the daughter of Samuel Brassington Bamford, she died in 2007, she was a second cousin to Joseph Cyril Bamford, they grew up together. Her brother was Raymond Bamford who died in 2009, age 96.

They should have shown up in the 1911 Census then? Pity that the only record I could find is for "Mr Bamford" is Oldfields House with seven females and one other male.
