Rachel Clarke born c.1873

I'm trying to find a Rachel Clarke born c.1873 who married an Alfred Hall in 1894. All census records after they marry says she was born in Cardiff around 1873. But I cannot find any record of her birth and she only appears on 1881 census as an 'inmate' somewhere in Cardiff.

Can anyone help?
Thanks

brummiejan - yes that's the marriage.
I've probably been a bit stupid re: the Clarke without an e! Thanks for that. I'll try searching on census for that instead.

Actually can anyone find her on the 1891 census? 1881 she seems to be the inmate and 1901 she's married to Alfred. But unsure inbetween?

If you want to go back you need her marriage or birth cert.
