Unfortunately, can't see the image of the marriage record, to see if father was mentioned.

There were no Bakers other than William's household, in Alconbury Weston in 1841, to give a clue.

Thank you safc

A couple of older siblings for William?

EDIT: The John and Mary baptised below may be the witnesses on William's marriage that has already been posted in detail by safc.

EDIT: William's first 3 children in the 1841 census as posted previously by Argyllgran are Joseph, John and Charles. Are they named for his brothers baptised below, and his father?

William Baker
England Births and Christenings, 1538-1975
Name: William Baker
Residence Place: Godmanchester, Huntingdonshire, England
Gender: Male
Christening Date: 1810
Christening Date (Original): 02 FEB 1810
Christening Place: GODMANCHESTER, HUNTINGDON, ENGLAND
Birth Date: 1808
Father's Name: William Baker
Mother's Name: Sarah

hamerton is in cambridgeshire only 8 miles from huntingdonshire

Malyon is correct in that Hamerton is currently in Cambridgeshire, but googling comes up with this:

"Hamerton was in the historic and administrative county of Huntingdonshire until 1965. From 1965, the village was part of the new administrative county of Huntingdon and Peterborough. Then in 1974, following the Local Government Act 1972, Hamerton became a part of the county of Cambridgeshire. "

I think this is probably the William Baker from that Godmanchester baptism.
