The 1838 baptism record you mention is most interesting as it gives George’s occupation as a tailor, which is the same as on that of the son born in 1843.
Is this the baptism?

Did George’s wife Harriet die in 1853 age 31 and did he remarry?

George Heath Widower, occ Tailor
Father Charles, Clothier
Charlotte Keene
Father George, hairdresser
