I have had a look to try to find the baptism of George and while I cannot find one in Doveridge I have found a few possible baptisms in Staffordshire between 1738 and 1745:
George Cope baptised 3 December 1738 in Alton, parents are William and Mary Cope.
George Cope baptised 4 February 1739 in Abbots Bromley, parents are George and Esther Cope.
George Cope baptised 22 May 1739 in Draycott-in-the-Moors, parents are Obed and Katherine Cope.
George Cope baptised 4 August 1745 in Leigh, parents are George and Ellen Cope.
I think that the first baptism in Alton seems highly likely to be him as he named his first born daughter Mary and first born son William. Also, his son Thomas was living in Alton in 1841 and 1851.
