It's unusual for a person to have "lost" some years by the time they get to later life, but are you saying her childhood censuses suggest a late 1840s birthdate?  How old is she said to be in 1851 and 1861?

Assuming the same one is under discussion, in 1851 her age is given as 8. I can't find the 1861 at the moment, but I don't think its inconsistent with 1851. In her 1866 marriage, she is said to be 'of full age', which I presume means a pre-1845 birth. In the 1891 census, however, her age is given as 42, mother of a 24 year old son.
