I was a little too optimistic about what I would find in the transcriptions of St Mark's baptismal registers, but I was pleased with what I did find.
In each case the child's parents were given as George Griffith and Susan, George's occupation "musician". The elder George Henry Griffith's baptismal record in 1865 gave his mother's maiden name as Rochester, but the later ones gave no maiden name:
Baptised Born Child's name Address
2/11/1865 15/4/1865 George Henry Marian Street
6/8/1868 23/11/1867 Alfred John Budd Street
6/8/1868 23/11/1867 Charlotte Broadley Budd Street
14/8/1873 8/4/1873 Emily Frances Fitzroy Street
8/6/1876 9/2/1876 George Henry Moore Street
I can't tell from any of that when George returned to Fitzroy, but it does show a gap in the family from 1867 to 1873.
