Hi,
John Thomas was born 1st of March 1888 in Swansea ,Wales.
Living with his brothers and sisters in Baltimore , Maryland on the 1920 census he was single and working as a stevedore .
Than we lose track of him...what became of him ? Can you find him ?
-
This must be him on the WW1 Draft -

Was he a stevedore on a steam ship ?

Thanks Sandra on Anc It looks like on the census form...but I think it is because it reads .. Industry or establishment Yes he was in the draft WW1
-
Yes the draft it's one of the few docs we can find and yes to stevedore
-
Have you looked for obituaries for his siblings? They might mention his whereabouts.
(I see by your tree at ancestry that you have death dates for all the children except Thomas.)
