Notes for Caroline Powys
Is she the spinster living in London in 1881 with three servants and recorded in 1881 census? Very much seems to be:

Summers Betsy 79 Servant House Keeper  Star Cross, Devonshire
Kennedy Annie 38 Servant Housemaid  Brighton, Sussex

______________

TFPL, Sept 2011: Interestingly the National Burial Index has a Caroline Powys buried on 14 May 1887 at Titchmarsh, aged 74, giving a birth year of c. 1807.  This is nearer to RCLPL’s info of her namesake, another CP.  So she should be in the 1871 and 1881 censuses.

And indeed she was in the 1871 census with her sister Eleanor and two servants:

Surname  Forename  Age  Relation  Occupation  Birth Place

Powys Caroline 58 Head Income From Dividends  Titchmarsh, Northampton
Powys Eleanor 56 Sister Income From Dividends  Titchmarsh, Northampton
Ludlow Jane 50 Serv Lady's Maid St Georges, Middlesex  
Barriene Caroline 28 Serv Lady's Maid  B. S. , Switzerland

Address:                87 Oxford Terrace, Paddington
Registration District:  Paddington, Mx
ImageReference:         RG10/0019/~F29

This too gives her birth as 1813.
