I am assuming that for the record with one child, that child is also one of the two in the other record. Either that, or there are actually three children. But in any case, it sounds as if you have two marriages created with the same spouse. The easiest way to correct that would be to write down the RIN's of all the people involved just to be sure you can find them again. If any of the children are duplicates, merge them. Then unlink one of the marriages and any children associated with it. Finally, on the remaining marriage, add any missing children back.
