Hi and welcome,
Have you tried searching this Forum for past threads, there are a few re the Baldwyns of Newent that might prove usefull, for example ?.

took a while to find the Marriage due to the spelling variation and my headcold,
so for completeness;

I would expect that Knight is almost certainly Hannah's widowed/married name and not her first maiden name. It's quite possible the Witness's names may help, could she have been a Beale or Bowkett perhaps ?.

Using the Advanced search looking for a Marriage between a Groom surname Knight & a Bride named Hannah/Anna gives the following which may also be relevant:

1758 KNIGHT Edward Ruardean BAYLY Susanna Ruardean Ruardean
1777 KNIGHT Thomas Abinghall BOSELEY Hannah Longhope Longhope
1782 KNIGHT Richard Newland PARLOUR Hannah Newland Newland
1784 KNIGHT Richard Ruardean DAVIS Hannah St Nicholas Parish Gloucester St Nicholas
1788 KNIGHT Thomas this parish WALKER Anna this parish Dixton
1803 KNIGHT Edward Hundred of St Briavels PLAISTER Anna Hundred of St Briavels Mitcheldean
1809 KNIGHT Richard Bromesberrow KING Hannah Bromesberrow Bromsberrow

Perhaps better to search for her possible Baptism Record, again using the Advanced Seach feature. How certain are you wrt here birthdate, is this from a birth record or just a census(so probably inaccurate) ?
