Charlotte Worrell

I am looking for a baptism for Charlotte Worrell in about 1811, I believe she married Stephen Andrews in 1832 and have been trying to check their children on the GRO but cannot get on their website at the moment.  I am trying to follow up a DNA link, which may solve a longstanding illegitimacy issue, would be lovely to confirm my hunch.

Findmypast have the transcription of a baptism for a Charlotte,  10 February 1811 daughter of Henry and Sarah Worrell in Canterbury, no Church named.

Also a transcription and image of baptism for a Charlotte at St.Mary Northgate, Canterbury, 30 October 1813, daughter of John and Charlotte   Worrell, John was a butcher.

( I note that the Worrell / Andrews marriage took place in Smeeth .)

Thank you both, the plot thickens but it looks as if I may, finally, have some evidence for my hunch re. the father of my 2x ggrandmother's 5 illegitimate children!  She finally married him in 1885, 5 years after the birth of the youngest, by which stage he was a widower - although wife no. 1 appears to have died in 1868, so I don't know why they waited so long.
