She could be but we do not have a definite date of birth and variations in census are quite large. 1871 on FMP can only be searched by county of birth. Anyone any good at military births?

hi
Also on 1881 Welsh census there is a John Lewis aged 44 as a visitor at 159 Mensell street Wales the family are the Evans. John occupation is listed as Pensioner Chelsea(army Penr). Maybe they are relitives as there born in the same city as John.
