sealing to different mother with same name

ChristensenChristine1

I have a bit of an odd dilemma. I just discovered that two women with the same name (Emma Firth) were combined (not merged) on family search. When I was looking I noticed two husbands, each with differerent names, from different areas of Yorkshire, with children born during the same time frames. When I searched the record's activity, there were no merges. I think someone added the one of the husbands after the first had already been completed. I know that the other Emma and her husband were added first (by dates of additions and temple ordinances. But my relatives children were all sealed to the incorrect Emma Firth. When I added a new Emma Firth and unlinked the children and husband from the incorrect Emma, it now shows that I can do temple sealings when I check their individual profiles.

Although technically, they were already sealed to William Pyrah and Emma Firth, it was a different Emma Firth, so I should go ahead and do a new sealing for them, correct?

Thanks!
