I can find no entry for his marriage so his wife's surname is a guess.
In Bakers of Headley it states "John’s second child by his first marriage, George, was born in 1795. Nothing further is known at present."

Gillian Divine in A Time of Change 2005 p 61 states that George Baker was People's Church Warden at Churt sometime after 1868.
