That's interesting. Just found a baptism for a Rhoda Guest at the same time:

31/09/1856 to Thomas & Elizabeth Guest at Cinderford St John's (living in Cinderford at the time).

i am so grateful, i did have a copy of the marriage certificate of matilda and georgs, so i suppose this means that rhoda was born out of wedlock the daughter of matilda? as she appears on her legal marriage certificate as a hook but in the census as a guest. do you agree please? kind regards from sunny south africa!
