According to census data and info from death notice in the paper
here is George Crocker's baptism in 1808
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:QPT9-W5RV

George had older SIBLINGS born in Portsea:
William Urry Crocker 1802,
John Henry Crocker 1804,
Frederick Crocker 1808.
It is possible that the family moved and other children were born elsewhere

Yet the marriage record only shows Isabella no surname and the grooms name is James Crocker not George James Crocker.

It is not a marriage record, it is an index.  It is quite possible that the bride's surname was simply illegible to the indexers.  As Sue has said, you need to see the actual marriage record before you can continue.

I cannot see where you are getting the name 'George James' from?

George James Crocker (1843-) father died when he was 12 and his name was George.

The father of William John born 1865 was James and when he married he was James.  I don't know where the 'George' comes from.
