An explanation of the family ties in Oliver Twist?

I am slightly confused with all the family ties in Oliver Twist. I don’t know why, but it somewhat confused me.

This is how I think it is written (and please correct me if I am wrong because I’m sure that I am):

Leeford is the father of Agnes who is sister to Rose. Agnes had an affair with a married man, leading to the birth of Oliver, making Rose Oliver’s aunt. The affair between Agnes and the married man caused Monks to be Oliver’s half brother.

Except, I really don’t think that’s even close to being right because I’m not sure if Leeford was Agnes’s father or if he was the man that Agnes had an affair with?

It would be really great if someone could clear this up for me! :]

Thanks!

If we agree that technology can get replaced, the drug enterprise ought to not have an excuse of increasing drugs expenditures because of the fact of regulation healthy.additionally if we glance on the different section that has used the socialist gadget it has slowed down and did not stay as much as its Utopian promise. No gadget is suited yet open and loose industry is the final obtainable.
