I've found the address,and the head of household appears to correspond with the son of Richard Jones of 7 Old Tram Road as found in the census data,and therefore brother to Mary Ann of 11 Rhosdulyn,and presumably to Veronica Olwen,though it is not possible at this stage to rule out the possibility of a "half brother/ sister" relationship,if Richard remarried between 1911 and Veronica's birth.THe initial data suggested a mmn of Hughes for children pre 1911,but we have not found a reasonable similar option for Veronica(I think).

To my mind it still points to the family in 1911
Free index to 1939 has a John Richard Jones born 1900 living with Laura E. Jones in Gwyrfai R.D.
Admittedly there are a lot of John R Jones of various ages listed there.
Playing with the birth month, a la Rosie, suggests it might have been October
So,
Dec 1900 Carnarvon 11b 380
Jones, John Richard
mother Hughes

Which still leaves the problem of Olwen Veronica. If she was one year older than she later admitted to being, maybe
March 1915 Carnarvon 11b 712
Jones, Olwen
mother Hughes

I was saying the same about the family as jonw65,but in a more roundabout way,but hadn't considered the 1915 birth.There are two entries in NorthWalesBMD,both Llandwrog sub district.

I don't want to create problems...but...was Veronica a name that she came up with because Olwen didn't sound good in the Southern workplace? The birth certificate that I have as a child says Veronica...there is no reference to Olwen. It's only in the newspaper article that we see a reference to Orwen Veronica Jones. Of course that has taken us back to her roots. Was she simply Olwen? I wonder what proof of identity would be required in the 1940s?

The 1939 register index living Bristol was for Olwen V Jones
