I notice(I think!),that as is often the case,when the birth year is "modified",the day/month are kept the same - 17th March.(Kenneth Rice's military record).

I wonder if the sellotape in 1939 helped make the day wrong - though the rest is also slightly out

OK. I give up! I can't find the FindMyPast records (even though I pay for it)...I know I'm a fool 

Presumably 'young' John Richard had left home at the time of the pension...hence four children.

But...the only marriage that I can find, that fits, is Q4, 1899...Richard John Jones and Mary Ann Hughes.

Tormented.

 An update for those who have supported my quest. After months of little progress I've finally had the breakthrough. I was aware that 'Molly' may have a half sister and half brother in Canada. A few cold 'phone calls' last week and I hit gold. Regrettably the brother has passed away but the two half sisters are in contact. Quite a shock as she no idea of a half sister in England.
