Was Catherine Lizzie Croome the daughter of John and Catherine Thomas?

I am trying to establish the birthdate and parentage of Catherine Lizzie Croome.
I believe that she was the daughter of John Thomas and Catherine Parry.

At various times she is listed as living with various other members of the Thomas family, including the following:

1891 living in Cheltenham with her sister Mary Ann Mushett, nee Thomas, both widows.

1881 living in St Briavels with husband Daniel and Albert Daniel Thomas, son of John Thomas and Sophia Hulin (her nephew?)

1871 living in St Briavels with husband Daniel and lodgers; William Thomas 50 (her brother?) and William Thomas aged 7.

Catherine Lizzie seems to be Daniel's second wife. Family stories tell us that Albert Daniel went to stay with an older aunt after his mother died during childbirth but beyond that, I haven't been able to find records to support the stories. I've always assumed the relationship was the Thomas side because of the census data.

Can anyone shed any light?
