We don't know- for instance, it's entirely possible the starting position is just mate in 10000.

From what I've been able to find I don't think you are going to find anything like a list of all Commonwealth women's chess champions.
First thing to check is what kind of organization is the Commonwealth Chess Association (the organisation which currently runs the championships). Looking in the FIDE Directory shows that has its own entry in the list of FIDE ...

My research tells me, that FIDE has only started rating players from 1970/71 on.[1]
Background Knowledge
There are multiple databases listing players, for example OlympBase, which contains the ratings of all (?) FIDE-registered players from 1971-2001, after which year, one can consult the current FIDE-list (which doesn't store ratings before then, apparently)...
