Although the name is spelt wrong, I am wondering if this my Elizabeth Owens on the 1881 census. Censuses often spell names wrong (or indeed was transcribed wrongly).
This census places her born as 1866 or 1867 (depending if she had her birthday for the census year). Her marriage certificate has her as 21, which would mean she was born in 1866 (or 1865, if not already had birthday).
Her dad in this census record is also John, he's a farmer's shepherd (says labourer on census) and she is born at Dolgelley for both.
I can't find any other Elizabeth Owen(s) with a father John or a head of household as deceased for that time frame.
I am assuming that she was still living with her parents at that time, given her age, and between 1881 and 1887 she moved out to look for work? It is possible that the family moved if John had died?
