https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3QS7-89Q5-MNKM (image 242/247). Joseph was baptised age 25yrs, 1 week before his wedding (perhaps a condition of marriage!)

This suggests the parents were NOT religeous and so Parish Records are going to be very thin on the ground from here going backwards!

Cannot be https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:NBP1-5VL; Christening 9 Nov 1746 Bradpole, Dorset, England (30 miles away).

Conflict??

https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:N595-ZMC and
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3QS7-89Q5-MNLN?i=132&cc=2515875 image 133/247 shows baptism Honiton 9 Aug 1752 with Thomas as father and Hannah as mother. (=>married at 20yrs)

And then... 28 June 1754 Betty Reed (a child) dies in Honiton, father Thomas (image138/247),

https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3QSQ-G9Q5-MN9X?i=139&cc=2515875 Image 140/247 suggests Honiton baptism 14 July 1754 with Thomas as father and Susanna as mother. (=>married at 18yrs)

and again 15 Nov 1754 Betty Reed (a child) dies in Honiton, father Thomas (image 145/247).

So same parish 2 years apart, mothers names sound similar?

Plague hits town with 150 kids dying that year (July 1754 to June 1755)
