Was the first child for this couple Hannah bap Nov 1786?

There's this possible marriage:

First name(s) Joseph
Last name Hopwood
Residence St George Hanover Square
Marriage date 20 Mar 1783
Parish St George, Hanover Square
Spouse's first name(s) Ann
Spouse's last name Sherwood
Spouse residence St George Hanover Square
County Middlesex
Country England
Archive City of Westminster Archives Centre
Record set Westminster Marriages

The image is on FMP. The witnesses were Caleb Greville and Charles Gray.

There's also this baptism in the gap between the marriage and the first child in Farnham:

First name(s) Maria
Last name Hopwood
Baptism year 1785
Birth year 1785
Parish St James
County Middlesex
Country England
Father's first name(s) Joseph
Mother's first name(s) Ann
Birth date 14 Apr 1785
Baptism date 10 May 1785
Archive

Record set Westminster Baptisms

No other London baptisms for the children of a Joseph and Ann around this date.

That 1783 marriage looks more likely; there is no way that a couple who married in 1765 could have a child born in 1802.
