1.  George Lewis

2. George Lewis

Have you checked the witnesses to the marriage? Marriage bonds?

Also check for siblings, sometimes a slightly more unusual name follows down the family.  Parents may live with  one of the children in old age, so worth checking 1841/1851 census if you're lucky.

Does the baptisms show father's occupation, sometimes sons follow on, not proof, I know, but could give you a lead.

Wills also sometimes name siblings.

Thank you for your reply and advice,

At present do not subscribe to ancestry so will recheck the 1841 census at the library later.

George himself was a Wheelwright, on his marriage certificate.  Witnesses do not appear to be of any help but again will check.
