While I'm not able to clarify on the baptism... I found an additional record for consideration in Dec 1784 in St Mary Taunton... the death record would fall under the Bedminster district. A quick search has found a death record for James Perry in Oct Dec 1855 in Bedminster. There are records held at the Somerset Heritage Centre from the workhouse.

I applied for that Death Certificate but found it refered to a James Perry who died age 83 on 11/12/1855 in the Sub-district of Yatton.

Long Ashton Workhouse was situated in the parish of Flax Bourton and was in the Poor Law (and Registration) District of Bedminster.  So the death of a James PERRY registered in the Bedminster District in 1855 is possibly the one you are looking for.  I am not aware that the Workhouse had its own burial ground - there are burials of people who died there in Flax Bourton and Long Ashton.  Some Workhouses sent bodies to their home parishes for burial - do you know where he was living before his admission - he might be buried there.  Although there are a few Admission & Discharge Registers available for the Long Ashton Workhouse (In the Somerset Heritage Centre in Taunton) none have survived for the time of his stay there and the death Register starts in 1866.
