Hi Rob, welcome to the forum.
Re your comment re watermen being married in Bristol, last year there was also this prior thread which may be of interest to you, coincidentally (?) also about residents of the same part of the Wye as Thomas & Ann.

I guess you've already searched this site's PRs ?.
As you say there are a few "possible" Baptisms for Thomas so I won't try and guestimate those, I'll leave that to the site's experts.
Ann though looks a different case, Marsh is not a common name at all wrt the PRs, my best suggestion while searching between 1767 & 1787 would be:

How's this sound to you ?.

There are prior Burials of similar names within the same Parish's PRs, but no obvious Baptisms unless tardy ones perhaps as you say.

The only other possible that I can see is:

Record_ID: 198252
Entry_Number:

Day: 10
Parents_Surname: MARSH
Child_Forenames: Hannah
