I have been checking the Manger family on Ancestry and noticed in other Family Trees that they had Rachel Smith, David Manger 's daughter with Mary Ann Smith/Peplow married to Enoch Whitehouse not Rachel Manger. The marriage was definitely with Rachel Manger, one of their children used to visit my grandparents. However in the course of looking I realised that I could not locate Rachel Manger born 1869 in the 1881 Census. There is a Rachel age 11 listed as living with David and Mary Ann and called a step daughter so presumably Rachel Smith born 1870. Of the other children born to David and Hannah, Mary Jane had already passed away, Lucretia was married and both Martha and Hannah were staying with Nathan Taylor and his first wife.
Having looked at the 1871 Census for Edward Smith and Mary Ann Smith/Peplow the only child listed is Joseph age 2, no mention of a Rachel. There is a Rachel Smith born 1870 registered at Sandwell but I don't know if it is the correct one and if it is where is she in 1871?
Is it possible that the Census is incorrect and there is just Rachel Manger born 1869?

Although Rachel is listed as step daughter i think she is the daughter of David and Hannah not Edward and Mary

I think it makes sense, although there is a Rachel Smith born 1870 registered at Dudley and another at Sandwell she would surely have been on the 1871 Census with Edward and Mary Ann. There is also no signs of her in later Censuses just Rachel Manger
Assuming the Rachel is Rachel Manger should Rachel Smith be removed from the Tree or at least some sort of note be made regarding the situation?

Have removed Rachel Smith and added a note to Rachel Manger
