Ok peeps i need some help....!!!!!

I have been waiting for some certs, and ordered 2 certs of a child, both of the children had the same name (couldn't be exactly sure which one was mine) so ordered a sister who i know def was mine to compare.... also ordered the parents marriage cert.

I now have a huge problem !!! Both the children of the same name are mine!!! .....with no death. All certs cross reference with each other seperately but they don't all match together....

I have the following.

Marriage:

William Liggins 28, Widower, Screwmaker, Wood's Bank, John Liggins Father, Labourer.
Rosetta Ward, 23, Spinster, Darlaston, William Ward Father, Porter.

1870, Butcroft, Darlaston
Maria Liggins, Father William Liggins, Screw Forger, Mother Rosetta formerly Ward, registered by Rosetta.

1875, 59 Hill Street, Darlaston
Maria Liggins, Father William Liggins, Bolt Forger, Mother Ann formerly Ward, registered by William.

1877, 59 Hill Street, Darlaston
Harriet Liggins, Father William Liggins, Bolt Forger, Mother Rosetta Liggins, registered by William.


Can someone please give me their opinions!!

Did he secretly have sisters on the go...in the same house?

I know this is going to really frustrate me..... I just want an end to all this....and the more i order the worse it gets!
