I'm having trouble finding Ann E King and family on 1891

William and John King are clearly brothers. William vanishes on censuses for me until 1921, when suddenly he's back, living in the same street as  other family members. Listed as single, but that might be an error as he's a boarder. If John King adopted Ann, in a manner, she would be a sort of step sister to the Wareham and King children of Mary Stock. She then married the former brother in law of her step mother

I think you might possibly be correct about the William/John error in terms of them being Sibling’s, the apparent siblings of Annie Elizabeth King (i.e) John King’s children don’t coincide together date wise, with them being born close to the early 1900s, William king would have already been well into his fifties

Elizabeth Wareham B.1889 daughter of Mary Ann Stock, might have changed her name to King?

No, she and her Wareham siblings retain their surname after Mary Ann marries John King. They can be seen on 1901 and 1911 with mother and step father. As I posted above, she's reported as Lizzie Wareham, daughter of  Mr and Mrs King, when she dies
