Can anybody "translate" this form the 1891 census?

Hi

If this person is still alive in 1901, what does it say there?
1871/81?

Also, there are a number of "Lowerxxxxxxx"

I wonder if this is a phonetic rendering of Lower Sticker?

"Sticker" sounds good, because in 1881 she was recorded as being born in St Austell which ain't that far.

1871 and 1901 are a problem as yet!

I've been saying that with a Cornish accent and I think you're right, with the r rolling into the sticker and sounding like '...risticker'
