Hunting for 'Domeres' at FamilySearch suggests this is the
3 Apr 1632 marriage at St Mary, Stockport, Cheshire.

I checked four batches - C009432, and C/E/P009431, and found
no baptisms for Simmons Simones Simonds or Domeres. There were
however a number of baptisms for Downes, although no Anne.
Perhaps her second marriage, but I couldn't find an earlier
one at this church (batch M009431).

Thanks - It could indeed be Simmons
However none of the possible baps is anywhere near Stockport

Opinion seems to be polarised on this one. Cheshire archives have published
via FindMyPast the same obviously faulty transcription as FamilySearch. I would
suggest challenging it via the contact form available here:

They should have an interest in working with you to fix it.

There maybe Bishops transcripts of the event of Stockport parish register at Cheshire archives depending on the start year of the BT's as some do start about 1600.

You could also look at other events in the church register to see if the surname appears more readable of that family-if not its would suggest that Annie came from another parish, in that case there maybe Parish Removal and Settlement records or other records.

Re Anne's surname beginning with a 'D' or an 'S', here is
an example 'D' from the same page of the register:
