There is a James Martin born 3 Feb 1829 and baptized St George the Martyr, Southwark, 25 Feb 1829.
Parents John and Elizabeth, abode Kent Street, father a Labourer.

Well done Jonw65. I had seen that baptism for James and his sister Maria, and thought it seemed a strong possibility. Your find with the seaman's ticket adds extra weight.

A note regarding the address - Kent Street. It was a very long and narrow road which ran southeast from the church of St. George Southwark towards Kent. Now called Old Kent Road (A2), it was part of the great way from Dover (and the Continent) to the metropolis on London until the early nineteenth century.

I have a question...

If John and Elizabeth married in St Mary, Newington, Southwark, Surrey, wouldnt their children be baptised in the same church?

Their daughter Maria was baptised there. The family may not have had a strong tie to any particular church. Which ever church was closer was often the one used.
As a labourer, John Martin, may have moved around a bit with his family - going wherever there was work.
Added -
St. George Southwark  and St Marys Newington are really very close to each other.

Just a few more thoughts on that ….
Both children, James and Maria were baptised on a Wednesday. Looking at the church registers there appear to be a number of group baptisms on Sundays and Wednesdays.
Wednesday was a popular market day, so maybe that is when the Martins came into town. They may not have been regular Sunday church goers.
