Welcome to rootschat J2K10. :)
You're asking for an 1891 census lookup for someone who wasn't born till 1893? :o Can you confirm please? ;)
Do you know the names of any family members she may be living with?
The 1901 and 1911 censuses for Ireland are online and free. Have you looked for her there? Have you chekced the IGI and Scotland's People for her birth?
Added: I can't see her on the IGI.
Can you confirm if McKechnie is her maiden name or married name?

Hi Ruskie
Im not exactly concentrating on 1891 census, i am just trying to get help from people researching Mckechnie name that they may have came accross this person. I know that Mckechnie was her maiden name and that she married in Dumbarton before moving to Ireland, her married name was Supple, i have nothing else to go on.

There may be people who are not researching the surname who may still be able to help you. ;)
Do you have Rachel's marriage certificate? This should tell you both her parent's names plus more. An essential purchase I think.
On the bar at the top of the rootschat page is "Surnames". You can list your surnames here in the hope of finding a match with another rootschatter. You can also contact anyone who has already listed McKechnie as a name they are researching. Try this link (I hope it works):

Do you need a lookup on the 1891 or any other census? If so, which ones? If not, it may be worthwhile to amend your subject title to just say you are looking for McKechnie in Dumbarton. There may be people who do not have access to the census but have McKechnie's in their tree who may not read this post because they think it is purely a census lookup request.
What is your aim? Do you hope to progress back to find Rachel's parents etc?

J,
Do you know Mr Supple's first name?
Are you sure they married in Scotland? I'm having problems finding a Supple/McKechnie marriage on Scotland's People .... :-\

The only Rachel McKechnie showing on the 1901 census in Scotland, so happens with a Dumbartonshire birth place, is this entry - all the children showing as born in Helensburgh:
James Mckechnie 37, Jacktsman (?spl) b. Inchanan, Renfrewshire
Jane Mckechnie 36 b. Ireland
Andrew Mckechnie 14
John Mckechnie 12
Jennie Mckechnie 7
Amy A Mckechnie 5
Michael Mckechnie 3
Donald Mckechnie 2
Rachael Mckechnie 8 months
Address: 18 Clyde St E, Helensburgh, Dunbartonshire
Not sure if you are working back from an age at death in 1962.

There are only two Rachael McKechnies (searching as Rac* M*cKech*) showing as born in the whole of Scotland between 1891-1901, both in Dumbartonshire. One in 1900, likely to be the Rachael from the above census, the other birth shows in 1893 in Dumbartonshire.
You could check the birth entry on Scotlands People for the 1893 birth if you are certain on her birth year. It could be that this Rachael's surname has been mistranscribed on the transcript I am looking at for the 1901 census.
