I had a few minutes to search Ancestry today and I experimented with the search interface to try and locate Janet Lambourne nee Rymell in either the 1891 or 1901 censuses. I came across this George and Jane Lambourne in High Wycombe in 1901:
1901 High Wycomne, Bucks(Attach:RG13_1347_1349-0065.gif)
Name Relation Condition Age Occupation Where Born
George Lambourne Head M 48 Chair Polisher Bucks, Wycombe
Jane Lambourne Wife M 47 Bucks, Wycombe
There were a number of chair makers and polishers nearby so there must have been a furniture factory in the area. They both appear to be of the right sort of age, but the birthplaces and occupations are unexpected. The birthplaces could have been dittoed by mistake but it’s unlikely. The best way to disprove that these people are the ones we are looking for is to find them in the 1881 census. We already have George and Janet living in London in that census. I looked and found the following:
1881 High Wycomne, Bucks(Attach:BKMRG11_1460_1464-0927.gif)
Name Relation Condition Age Occupation Where Born
George Lambourne Lodger U 24 Polisher Bucks, Wycombe
This is almost certainly the same George as listed above so he can’t be the George we’re looking for and Jane is not Janet Rymell.

We looked for Lewis Tew and found this in the GRO at Ancestry:
irth of Lewis Tew, DEC QTR 1902, Towcester, Northants, Vol3b p13
We also signed up to 1837online and had a look for Janet Rymell’s birth. Because 1837online is a pay-per-view site we decided to transcribe as much as possible here to save looking again. This list is not exhaustive - some pages ended on relevant names and so there may have been interesting ones on subsequent pages. We stopped transcribing all Rymers after SEP 1851
