  I know what you mean Rosie...I reckon we're all suffering from 'Jones overload syndrome'.

I've been testing the idea that 'Veronica' was from a second marriage but have found nothing tangible. I'm with Jon on the Olwen Jones, Q1, 1915 birth, mother Hughes. 'Veronica' has proven to be very creative with names and birth dates so I've ordered the birth certificate.

We've found nothing that substantiates 'Veronica' as a birth name; or have we?

No, we have not found anything that substantiates Veronica as a birth name

Still waiting for the certificate and, hopefully, some response from Canada! I know it's not important but I thought I'd work on the information that you've thrown into the pot.

I think I'm attaching a basic 'backwards' synopsis (never tried to do this)

Thanks for PDF.I would say the information is a "working hypothesis",particularly the leap for John Jones between 1851 and 1881(proposed by me as a possibility only)On what basis did you choose the 1841 data for Owen Jones?I am not saying you are wrong,I would just like to check it out.

Hi Roger,

I'm happy with a 'working hypothesis', that's all it was meant to be. I worked through original scans, linking actual dates and places of birth, family members, etc, and rejected unlikely places, occupations, eg farmer, shopkeeper. It was simply a 'best shot' but I'll go through my notes tomorrow and try to substantiate the theory.

Regards,

Colin

Roger,

I've gone back over my notes and still think I'm on the right track 

1861...working on the farm

1871 RG09/4328/74/4: married to Mary, from Abererch. With his mother....or the wife's?

Dates, places, relatives circumstantial...but compelling! 

I'm attaching a hand written tree that may help with my theory.......but I expect to be beaten around the head! 

Regards,

Colin

Excellent news,but there may be more tragedy.It is possible Richard was KIA in May 1915.I need to recheck the data to make sure I have the right Richard.
