Hello,

 

I'm looking for informations about "Robert Lloyd Wells Owens"...

I think he was born in 1889 in Maryland but don't know his division...

Thanks for your help ! ;)

Regards,

 

Loïc.

I found your guy on Ancestry. All I could find was his WWI draft registration card, (he is from Rockville, MD) Federal Census Records through 1940 and a "find a grave" with a birth date of April 17, 1889 and a death date of Aug. 17, 1939. No military service on his grave stone and no overseas deployment shows up of the transport records. What makes you think he has WWI service? Half of the guys who served in WWI never went overseas, so no transport records.

Note: He was supposed to be going out on this ship but his name was crossed off and he went a little later on another ship.

Talk about sad. This Mans entire family including his wife died before him and he was only 50 when he passed.
