Could they have been Sarah's niece and nephew rather than Robert's?

I am trying to find a connection between these two families... Robert Jackson Towne (married to Sarah nee Jarrett) has two young Gimlett children William and Sarah as nephew and niece and later another sibling Kate Gimlett also niece living with him. He later on death of his wife marries niece Sarah Ann Gimlett in 1885.
I am unable to see a family member who could be their parent (William 1827 father) connected to the Towne family.Robert Towne had a sister Eliza and a brother John.
Please does anyone feel able to tackle this? I am nowhere. Sonya

Researching:
Greenhill .. Kent Whitlock.. Wiltshire and Marsden ..Derbyshire and London Exall Spall..Suffolk and Shoreditch London Moss .. Suffolk Dench.. Sussex
