Hi Polarbear, yes those baptisms are for the sisters and I have their birth certificates too, but no idea why the mother is listed as Jane? Their mother was Suzanne Asher and she had a fairly tragic life, with her first husband (William Wright) dying within a year of their marriage, as well as their only child (Fanny Wright). She then had my great grandfather, John Asher Wright in 1860, but he was illegitimate, so not sure who the father was. All this happened in Helpringham, Lincolnshire, but she had moved to London by the mid 1860's and then met John Leonard and had 4 daughters, though I can't find a marriage. Although the girls are not direct descendants I would like to trace them.
