Malyon- the William Aston that married Lydia Whitehouse in 1890 is not the same William and Lydia that have a daughter Rachel on the 1891 census. When the widower, William Aston, marries Lydia Whitehouse in 1890 he gives his abode as Cole Street- so that would be this William:

1891 England, Wales & Scotland Census Transcription
Cole Street, Dudley, Staffordshire, England

William Aston Head Married Male 36 1855 General Labourer Dudley, Worc
Lydia Aston Wife Married Female 27 1864 - Dudley, Worcestershire,
Alfred Aston Son - Male 9 1882 Scholar Dudley, Worcestershire,
Ernest Aston Son - Male 5 1886 Scholar Dudley, Worcestershire,
Albert Aston Son - Male 7 1884 Scholar Dudley, Worcestershire,
Joseph Aston Son - Male 0 1891 - Dudley, Worcestershire,
------------------------------------------------------------------

As put up previously the William and Lydia with daughter Rachel lived in Rushall in 1891 so are not the same people:

1891 England, Wales & Scotland Census Transcription
Royal Oak, Rushall, Walsall, Staffordshire, England

William Aston Head Married Male 27 1864 Iron Castor Walsall, Staffordshire,
Lydia Aston Wife Married Female 26 1865 - Rushall, Staffordshire, England
Rachel Aston Daughter - Female 2 1889 - Walsall, Staffordshire, England

i said it was odd that the racheal mentioned in 1891 census because i cant find a birth for that racheal born 1889 was thinking could she be the rachael that angela is looking for and they added a couple of years on her birth date because willian and lydia were only married in 1890 so it could be the william angela is looking for married lydia

Looks like the above death is correct- she was in an institution in 1890 too- so probably why we can't find her.-

Mother Rachel with her family:

Forge Buildings, Chelmarsh, Bridgnorth, Shropshire, England

In 1891 Rachel's family are living at Manor Iron Works, Spring Road, Sedgley- which fits with the address she gave on her marriage certificate.

What is 'odd', as you refer to 1911?, thought Rachel was below...where have you seen another 1911?...
