Yes, that's it. He is indexed as John Emma Wyllie on the site I'm using, but the original is quite clear.

Actually, of the 30 or so people at that address in 1891, only a very few have been correctly transcribed and indexed, and some of the transcriptions are quite incredible, because the original is quite clear in all but about two surnames.
Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.

I've had a good look at the censuses, etc. and have come to the conclusion that they might not have been married. Eunice was entered as his wife for propriety, etc. reasons.

What do you think?

The same thought has crossed my mind.

just to her eliminate her, there's a Eunice Lewis aged 29 in Mill St, Abergavenny in 1881 with 4 children RG11/5235 folio 62 pg 14. She's in Swansea in later years with a more accurate age and different place of birth. She was my great grandfather's sister!
