Hi Gwladys,
Tricky one. Hawley did not become a separate parish with its own registers until 1838. Before that it was part of Yateley. I've looked for her on BVRI2 which includes the Yateley baptism records, but she is not there. There is a Lunn family, parents John & Jane with children born before that date, the last baptism being in 1802. There is a record for Ann Lunn born 3 Oct 1797 baptised 5 Oct 1797 - Hannah and Ann(a) often found in place of one another.
Have you found her on any other census to help confirm her age and birth-place?
