Searching the census for an Olwen Jones with a keyword of "llech" brings an interesting result.

Another record to speculate on:
1921 marriage of Olwen Jones to Humphrey G Jones at St. Rhedyw Llanllyfni.

Obviously not appropriate if Veronica was born in 1916.

If you are searching on Ancestry it is Alun G Jones (yes their transcription is correct)

Thanks to everyone for your help and support. It would be so satisfying if I could establish that the Veronica O who married Kenneth Rice is the target. His military records are extensive, particularly in relation to his widow. It seems that they met when he was in hospital. However if her birthdate, entered on the application to marry is correct she would be six years too young! I have ordered a copy of the marriage certificate!

Reference the 1939 entry for Olwen W Rice (Jones) in Bristol would that not mean that she was Rice in 1939 then became a Jones later? (I don't have access to the 1939).

As Rosie suggested I'll ask for a Nebo/Penygroes register look up and contact Gwynedd FH.

Thanks again.

Hi
You'd think so, but in fact it will be the other way round. That's how findmypast have indexed them - by their later surname, with their old one in brackets.
It certainly caused a lot of confusion at first, but you get used it. But at least both surnames - or however many there were - are together in the index.

For anyone who doesn't know, and wants to see it, Kenneth's army record is free to view on ancestry's Canadian site, in Canada, WWII Service Files of War Dead, 1939-1947
