This baptism has been linked to the Ann Ewen who married in Chichester in 1803 on the basis that it is in the same parish in which she was buried and at a plausible time.

Burials / 1805 / Jan[uar]y 7 Anne, Wife of George Hammond
The George Hammond who married Ann Ewen in 1803 and the George Hammond who married Elizabeth Ewen in 1806 are presumed to be the same man as the George who married in 1806 was explicitly described as a widower, whilst George and Ann’s grandson Henry Rush (their daughter Harriet’s son) was living with George’s second wife Elizabeth and some of their children in the 1841 census in Chichester. This burial is the only Ann Hammond burial recorded between 1803 and 1806 in the Sussex burial index, and it describes her as wife of George.
