My Great-Grandfather was MICHAEL WILLIAM DAVIES. He was born in April of 1897 or 1898, on the 18th or the 28th, depending on what document I’m looking at. According to his U.S. Naturalization papers, he was born on 28th April 1897, in London, England. He died in 1991 in Grants Pass, Oregon. According to his Social Security Card application, he lists his parents as Albert Davies and Mary Abberley. He served in the 38th Ottawa Battalion during WWI. He then served in the U.S. Army from 1919-1922. I have his pay book from WWI which show his checks being sent to Swansea, Wales, to his father, Albert Davies. He married EUNICE CLAIR HAYES in 1924 in Redondo Beach, California. They resided in Southern California for several years before moving to Oregon and operating a dairy farm until the 1970’s. I have many photos that are identified as siblings of Michael. Their names are: Albert, Eileen, and Bridget. I have a picture of his niece, Betty on her wedding day. The photo states she married a man named Larry. I would really appreciate any information that can aid in my research.
