A couple of mentions in this brief article:
https://www.jewishgen.org/jcr-uk/Community/swansea_articles/Swansea_first_century.htm
Also this which has some references for mentions in The Cambrian.

Also a few pages about Jewish community on the Swansea Archive site https://www.swansea.gov.uk/article/56831/Origins

The sister Matilda was still alive 1881 census at 45 St Helen's Road age 78, a boarder with the Jones family.

ADDED
Charlotte's address re probate is 45 St Helen's Road where Matilda was living 1881??

Yes, sorry about that.
Do you have Charlotte's will gives death date of 30 June 1885, probate to Douglas Cohen one of the next of kin.
Probate 16 September 1885 in Carmarthen
Ref Index of Wills and probate.

If she names all her surviving relatives it might narrow down Matilda's death.
