Lake of Theydon Garnon Coopersale

I have noticed your old post in Rootschat and wonder if you could please help me.

My ancestor Sarah Lake 1778-1856 was one of seven children of William Lake and Ann Collins, who married at St. Bennet’s , Paul’s Wharf London in 1777 and lived at Weald Hall, probably farming there.  Wanting to trace the Lakes further back I find there are many Lakes in the area of Theydon Garnon, but I am unable to find a baptism of William that bears a date that makes sense. A family record written by a descendant in 1910, possibly unreliable, speaks also of a family called Stracey who were related to the Lakes. I have not found any marriage between these two names, though a couple of Lakes were given Stracey as a Christian name.

If you have come across William in your work on the Lakes, I would be very grateful to hear from you.
