Anne Williams - St Briavels (General)

I am looking for further information on Anne Williams. In 1770 she came home to St Briavel to have her first daughter, Frances Williams, baptised 29 June 1770. Anne was the mistress of Sir John Guise of Highnam Court (1733-1794). Frances was born on his wedding day! They later had another daughter Charlotte who was not baptised in St Briavel. Frances & Charlotte were both acknowledged by Sir John Guise & were beneficiaries in his will.
Charlotte married Sir George Nayler & Frances married John Laurie of London. Sir John was actively involved in the lives of these 2 sisters & was one of George Nayler's sponsors of his career at the College of Arms
I can only assume that Anne was born about 1735-40. It was quite usual for a first born child to be born in the home of the woman's parents so i am hoping that this is the case. I have checked the registers & note an Anne, born to John & Margaret in 1733, but that may not be the only option.
If anyone has any local knowledge or information on Anne (an ancestral grandmother) & her family I would love to hear from you. Thanks.
