Looks very promising, Roger!
Hopefully it's another piece of the jigsaw filled in.

Roger; you've nailed it! So it's Richard J. (John?) Jones! Not that it's important but can you identify where father, John Jones was born?

I've had a talk with 'Molly' and she agrees that there is no point going further 'backwards'. It's now back as far as Veronica's Grandparents! She admitted that she had thought that there may still be half siblings, here in the UK, but we've established that it is highly unlikely! Indicators are that there is at least one half brother and one half sister in Canada (though odds are they don't know it) so that avenue is worth pursuing, and I'll  update on any progress. Not that it's easy!

That leaves the enigma that is 'Veronica'. I'd like to put some meat on the bones because I feel there must be an interesting story there. If certificates are needed along the way then so be it. Obviously there is no urgency (thanks for all your time and effort) but it would be great if you would stay with me.

Oh; I had a look on GRO for Katie Jones, age 0 on the 1911, and her mmn was Hughes, 11b, 375.

Thanks all,

Colin

In the 1901 original John Jones(1848) is given born Llangybi.

http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/wal/CAE/Llangybi

I'll try to see if other data backs this up.

Roger

This could be the family in 1881in Rhiw Las,Llanllyfni

RG11/5562/137/66

John again given as Llangybi.I haven't strictly traced back from there,but the nearest 1851 entry is H107/2513/163/1which would give you a couple more generations,but this would need a lot more work to verify.

Strangely, I can't see any Richard John Jones registered in Carnarvon, if that is going to be the right district again, at the appropriate time. Quite a few John Richard Jones registrations.

Throw this school record in, just in case, as again it seems to be the right area (wiki -Talysarn, village in the slate quarrying Nantlle Valley, part of the community of Llanllyfni, includes some of Llandwrog)
Talysarn Boys School
Richd J Jones
born 8.9.79
admitted 19.10.85
father John Jones
doesn't give a date when he left, but says Left for Quarry (like most of them)

I put that d-o-b into the 1939 free index search, and it did not bring up a match.
I believe we think Veronica's father was unlikely to be alive then.
And it does seem probable that her mother's maiden name was Hughes, as discussed before.

I have lost track of what has been found in Wales but this looks like the death of Mary Ann Jones son (born before her marriage to Robert Williams according to the tree)
Birth 11 Apr 1924
Death Registration May 1999
Age at Death 75
Reg district Caernarfon
Gwynedd
Reg Number 49
District/Subdistrict 8421
Entry Number 127

Do we know who it was that he was living with in 1939  :-\
