There were several Margaret John's baptised either side of 1814 according to the Hugh Wallis site:-

Note that the accuracy of ages stated on death cetificates and censuses can be out by a few years and baptisms didn't always occur the same year a child was born. You really need to find something like a marriage entry which explicitly states her parents names or a document like a will or deed that links the family together.
