Hi, there is no baptism of a George Fellow(e)s at St. Andrew, Fairlight around 1815 on the SFHG database.
The one you found, son of Henry & Lydia was baptised at Pett.
However, there is a chapel of ease at Fairlight for which the records have not been transcribed so the baptism could be there.

Marriage was at Pett, 10 September 1835
George Fellows was of the parish, Georgiana Branscomb was of St Clement Hastings
Bachelor and Spinster
He signed, she marked
One of the witnesses was Mary Fellows, the other was George (not sure what!)
Previous marriage in the register there was 21 June 1835, Jesse Fellows and Elenor Buffard.
That was witnessed by George Fellows and Mary Fellows. From the signature it could be the same George.
Jesse Fellows marked.
13 Nov 1837, Pett
Charlotte Fellows, a minor, married John Willard
Residence for both Pett
Her father was George Fellows, Labourer
witnessed by Jesse Fellows (marked), Sarah George

We actually have a baptism in Pett in 1815 of a Jesse
8 January
Jessee
Son of George + Anne Fellowes
abode Pett
father a Labourer

Followed at Pett by Mary, August 1816
Charlotte, 7 June 1818
parents George + Ann(e) Fellowes
So if your George was a sibling he'd have had to been born prior to Jesse.
EDIT George is 38 in 1851 in Pett, youngest child is son Jesse, 1

I guess another theory is he could have been illegitimate :D

If this is George's death then I would go for the 1813 baptism at Pett which is only 2.5 miles from Fairlight.

It's already been established that George was not the son of Henry and Lydia - that George was still living with his parents in 1841.
I agree that George and Ann would appear to be George's parents having married at Hastings in 1810 and think their children were as follows:
Ann bc.1810 Fairlight (she is a widow, Ann Willis, with Ann Fellows in 1851 census as 'visitor'.
George bc.1813 Fairlight
rest of children born at Pett
Jesse bp.8/1/1815
Charlotte bp.7/6/1818
Elizabeth bc.1820
Zebulon bc.1823
James bc.1825
John bc.1827
Maria bc.1829
Matthew bc.1831
George senior bc.1789 bur.22/7/1838 Pett
Ann bc.1786 bur.9/7/1851 Pett
