According to the 1881 and 1891 returns she was born approx 1842, so this looks a possibility :

Birth, Mar qtr 1842   
Susan Cox

I've just had a look at a tree on Ancestry which claims John and Susan married
on the 24th December 1866 at the Independent Chapel, Monmouth. This might be worth checking up on.
