The 1891 for Mary (who is most likely Martha from the 1861 census) seems to confirm the connection with your Sarah Davis/ Crowther, as they have a Maria Crowther lodging with them.

I'd be interested to know what it says- but wouldn't be surprised if she has a different father listed- it's possible the Davis children were illegitimate.

Getting the mother's marriage certificate would tell you if she was single or a widow when she married:

Marriage
Name: Mary Davis
Gender: Female
Marriage Date: 14 Jan 1863
Marriage Place: Saint Andrew,Droitwich,Worcester,England
Spouse: William Knott
FHL Film Number: 0354318, 0354319

Marriages Mar 1863 (>99%)
DAVIS Mary Droitwich 6c 433 <<<<<<<<<
DUGGAN Sarah Droitwich 6c 433
KNOTT William Droitwich 6c 433 <<<<<<<<<
NICKLIN George Droitwich 6c 433

I'll let you know if I spot anything else x

You may have to accept that their births simply weren't registered.

Until 1875, there weren't any penalties........

Have you tried looking for baptisms on the FREE familysearch site?
