The marriage to William Watkins looks like it says about Ann

" widow of the same" meaning widow of the same parish.

You said children christened from 1789 onwards, but what about this one?

Name: Ann Watkins
Baptism Date: 6 Dec 1787
Parish: St Paul, Deptford
County: Kent
Borough: Lewisham
Parent(s): William Watkins,
Ann Watkins
Record Type: Baptism
Register Type: Parish Register

Father a farmer. Child born November, which would tie in with the January marriage at Deptford to Ann Permenter, but of course wouldn't exclude the April one to Ann Witney

Researching:
Eayres (Northants/London) Walker (Surrey) Loveday (Northants) Moore (Tipperary)
