John Clarke marriage St Philips

I wonder if someone could help unravel the following:

John Clarke married Ann Priest, 4 Feb 1751, St Philips.
There were then four children baptised St Philips, Thomas Clarke 1752, Patt 1753, mother Nancy then Edward 1754 who died 1760 & John 1757, mother Ann.

The question is are Ann Priest & Nancy the same person and to confuse it further was she baptised Hannah Priest, Aston Juxta 19/1/1732, parents John & Hannah.

I wonder if anyone could check to see if the Parish Registers shed any light?

Regards

Judging by what I´ve found, Hannah & Ann were almost always the same person & Nancy is a nickname for Ann, so looks like it´s the same woman.
 
Thanks for your response, it's good to have a second opinion. This is one of those crucial records, if it is correct then it ties up a lot of loose ends. I was hoping that the marriage record might contain a clue.
