I have these two flowers in separate places the flowers are identical but the leaves are different! I can’t decide if it’s storks bill or corncockle or neither!?

Yes, that's the same plant -- Herb Robert -- and it is edible but some tortoises don't like it (it has a rather pungent smell). Mine eat it though, and it is a useful addition to their diet.
Here's our entry for it:

Thank you. Herb Robert hadn’t come up on the list, I must have filtered it wrong (wild flowers/pink) although I have seen it somewhere in the database and I see how obviously the same it is now! My daughter was convinced it was the same....me not so much 😂. We'll see what Wilbur thinks x
