That should read "Toft" as maiden name not Matilda. My apologies!

On the 1891 census someone has added the name Matilda Billington to Matilda Toft's name. That is not right. If you look at the original, it's her sister Jane who was married to James Billington and they had 2 children, Maud 2 and Emma 3 months.

Researching:
Great grandmother Dorothy Bean nee Abbott (1858-1908)

I have found out Matilda was not married before - it's definitely her born in Hanley 1872.
Ta!
