Owen Sherwood was born on 8th September 1914. He was the son of Robert Henry Hayes Sherwood and Nellie (nee Roberts). He had two sisters, Joan (1920-1988) and Margaret (1922-2017).
Sadly, Owen died on 9th January 1936 in the New Plymouth District of Taranaki, New Zealand. He was buried in Henui Cemetery, Presbyterian Block, Row 16, Lot 3, Plot 1.
According to a newspaper report, Owen was working as a second refrigerating officer on the refrigerated cargo ship, 'Port Adelaide'. He was found floating in the harbour, after swimming in the morning and failing to answer noon roll call, before the ship’s departure. His clothes were found on the beach.
