Default Thoughts, anyone? Are these the same girl?

My gt x 3 grandparents, John Smoothy (also recorded as Smoothey) and his wife, Elizabeth, nee Willsher/Wiltshire had a daughter:

Eliza Smoothey [sic] daur of John & Elizabeth Smoothey baptised 11 Jan 1810, St. Mary, Chelmsford, Essex.

I can't find her after this record.

They also had a daughter who died the same year:

Burial
17 Oct 1810 • St. Mary's, Chelmsford, Essex
Mary Ann Smoothey, infant

But I can find no baptism for her. I have just begun to wonder if Eliza was renamed Mary Ann by the time of her death or whether one of the entries was misrecorded.

Any ideas?
