Henry Brain or Henry Herbert? (General)

What a tangle. I am trying to work this all out so please bear with me.
Story so far: Amelia Brain had a son Henry in 1853. No baptism found under name of Herbert or Brain but ChrisW did find a baptism for a Henry in 1853 with mother Amelia Brain and father William Waite. Slowhands thought that WADE could possibly be WAITE.
A William Waite born abt 1834 is found on the 1841 census. He married Eliza Evans in 1854. They had several children, including an Emily born abt 1859,who married Albert Herbert - brother or half brother of Henry Herbert/Brain/Waite.(Albert's parents Dennis and Amelia Herbert were living in Batley Yorkshire in 1881, as were William and Eliza Waite).
BACK TO HENRY HERBERT/BRAIN/WAITE. A marriage record was found for a Henry Brain to a Susan Waite in Dec 1875 Westbury. I believe Susan's parents to have been William and Eliza Waite. Susan and Henry (with surname of Brain) are lodging with Charles Waite and family in 1881 in Gloucestershire, shown on census to be Charles's nephew and niece. If my reasoning is correct, surely this would make Susan both Henry's wife and half sister? Regards Jean Herbert
