FamilySearch has two other baptisms at Hemyock for children of James and Joan Parsons:
John 2 May 1779 and Anne 30 Dec 1787.

Yes I noticed those also a later marriage for a Joan Parsons. I think precensus family history just requires a leap of faith.

Not necessarily - sometimes if you start building up a possible family tree, you will find something in there that definitely confirms you have the right people, for instance a will mentioning your ancestor.

I notice in Greinton Somerset there is a burial for a Joan Parsons born 1748 but I don't have a subscription. Greinton is where her daughter and grandchildren are buried.
