That Mary Ann was aged 13:

STOKES, MARY ANN 13
GRO Reference: 1873 J Quarter in DOVER Volume 02A Page 472

EDIT:

Well, one of them was.

This is the other one:

Deaths Jun 1873 (>99%)
Stokes Mary Ann 73 Dover 2a 472

The probate record reads:

Stokes, Mary Ann.
Effects under £20.
23 May.
The Will with a Codicil of Mary Ann Stokes late of the parish of Charlton in Dover in the county of Kent, widow, who died 4 May 1873 at the said parish was proved at Canterbury by Jane Irvin of Turn Chapel near Plymouth in the County of Devon, widow, the sister, the surviving executor.


Ah, strange.

Same ref number - seems to be the same person, but with the age wrong on the GRO website.
The 13-year-old only appears on GRO, not on FreeBMD.
The 73-year-old is on FreeBMD but not GRO.


However, that Mary Ann is too old to be the one who married Joseph, by about 5 years - assuming correct age stated at death.

Maddie mentions a Mary Ann Stokes born 1801 living in Charlton in 1871.
Born Dover, and an annuitant.

She's also there in 1861, at the same address (8 St Catherine's Place) - born in Dover, a fund holder, and too old, so not the one born in Dartford.

Just to rule her out definitely -

her sister Jane Irvin in 1861:
