Yeah I have them in 1901 and there is a Rhoda who is 10 years old but I just assumed that this child had died rather than it was just a misunderstanding with the name itself, makes sense I suppose!

 Maybe    the name they  said was a 'pet' name   and enumerator   put it down  rather than  the  real   name ?   even tho   my   grandmother was born  in Wales ,  I'm not  'up' on  Welsh  pet  names !   it certainly  doesn't  look like Rhoda  on 1891,  and  it doesn't appear that she's  a twin

It could be a pet name, I know that her sister is on the 1891 census as Martha and then on the 1901 census as Mattie, same as her brother Edward who has his name on 1901 then in 1911 is called Isaac after his middle name. So you could be right, I still just don't have a clue what it says
