My information comes from the October 1983 issue of "Whovian Times", the
newsletter of the Doctor Who Fan Club of America.  The exact quote is:

	"Baker is presently 40 years young.  He is married to actress
	 Marion Wyatt.  He has a seven-year-old son (Tom Baker) from
	 his previous marriage to actress Lisa Goddard!  This, of
	 course, is not 'the' Tom Baker known as the Doctor, nor are
	 the two related; but yes, it is ironic."

I have no idea how accurate this report is, but it seems to come from
a reliable source.
