I'll have to regroup - perhaps the mother of Samuel, Hannah, John, Elizabeth, James and Eliza was not Elizabeth Pook ?? Elizabeth Johnson.
Keep you posted.
Thanks

I have looked at a copy of Hannah Lake's original death certificate. Definitely says birth in 1837, Macclesfield, Cheshire. Father John Lake Mother Eliza (last name illegible ??? Matheson)

That family on 1851 shows that Elizabeth was 'Johnson' - details posted by Maryb on 1st page:
LAKE, HANNAH JOHNSON Order
GRO Reference: 1837 S Quarter in MACCLESFIELD UNION Volume 19 Page 7
LAKE, JAMES JOHNSON Order
GRO Reference: 1849 M Quarter in MACCLESFIELD UNION Volume 19 Page 127
LAKE, STEPHEN JOHNSON Order
GRO Reference: 1846 D Quarter in MACCLESFIELD UNION Volume 19 Page 120
LAKE, ELIZABETH JOHNSON Order
GRO Reference: 1844 S Quarter in MACCLESFIELD UNION Volume 19 Page 185
Can't just see John at the moment but the others are all there!
So sign of a Samuel as he was born before registration (and also before their marriage) - IF this is the correct family ??

Thanks I think that all fits. Also the 1841 Census which I believe is the same family, has two men with surname Johnson in the same household (possibly uncles?)
Eliza Leak Female 25 1816 Cheshire, England

Samuel Leak Male 6 1835 Cheshire, England
Transcription
Hannah Leak Female 3 1838 Cheshire, England
Transcription
Thomas Johnson Male 20 1821 Cheshire, England
Transcription
Samuel Johnson Male 15 1826 Cheshire, England
I don't know where I got Elizabeth Pook from (certainly a lot of family trees on ancestry.com list Elizabeth Pook as Hannah Lake's Mum) but I now believe she was Eliza Johnson who married John Lake from Macclesfield.
Thanks again.

Just to tie off this thread. Thank you all for your help.
For any future readers, regarding my person of interest "Samuel Lake", we have concluded:
Samuel Lake, eldest son of John Lake and Eliza Johnson of Macclesfield, Cheshire, England. Born 14 September 1834 (3 months after his parents marriage on 24 June 1834). He was baptised 26 June 1837. As far as I can conclude, he died in 1850 at the age of 16, although I am not certain if anyone can correct or confirm.
His younger sister Hannah and younger brother James both emigrated to Australia.
Thanks again.
