George Wyatt was baptized 27 December 27 1601 at Otham, Kent, the son of George Wyatt, Esq., and his wife Jane (Finch) Wyatt:
"[1601] Decemb. 27. George, the Sonne of George Wyat, Esquire."[1]
He was the brother of Sir Francis Wyatt, Eleanor (Wyatt) Finch, Rev. Hawte Wyatt, Henry Wyatt, and Thomas Wyatt.[2][3]
"George Wyatt, son of George W[yatt] of Boxley Abbey, Kent, Esq.," was admitted to Gray's Inn, London, 7 August 1618, the same day as his brother Thomas Wyatt.[4]
"George Wyatt of Kent, Gent.," matriculated at Queen's College, Oxford University, 6 November 1618, aged 16.[5]

I removed the section on "doubts" surrounding his siblings, but left it untouched in the Unknown Wyatt profile, fka Isabel (Wyatt) Page.
There are really no reasonable doubts as to the identities of the children of George Wyatt now that FindMyPast has made digital images available for the majority of Kent parishes. Therefore, a passage parsing the pronouncements of various incomplete secondary sources as to whether there had been a daughter Isabel seems superfluous, and potentially introduces The Streisand Effect to the profile and that of the other known children.
I'm not sure where the Berks birthplace came from... I think it should be Otham (where he was baptized). He may have actually been born at home in nearby Wavering (Weavering).
The birth place appears to be fictional. As you noted the baptismal date was 27 December 1601 at Otham, so we ought to change the date of birth to before that date. Additionally, the date of death does not come from the Boxley register. Nor is it mentioned in the entry for George in Alumni Oxonienses 1500-1714 (see Vol. IV--Early Series, p.1690, at https://archive.org/details/alumnioxoniense00fostgoog/page/n418/mode/2up ).
