I am searching for siblings and ancestors of my g-grandfather, Michael William Davies. His parents were Albert Davies & Mary Abberley (or Abbley).
Michael Davies was born 18 April 1897 in Wales. This DOB is listed on his Social Security Card application. I have at least two alternative DOBs for him—one 18 January 1896 is listed on his Attestation Papers for the Canadian Expeditionary Force. Another: 28 April 1897 is listed on his Declaration of Intention papers. It was well-known in the family that he “fibbed” about his age in order to join the CEF during WWI. After recovering from wounds suffered in France, he joined the U.S. Army and served in Siberia.
According to his CEF pay book, he had his salary sent to his father, Albert, in Swansea, Wales. His father’s address at the time was 9 Albert Row. Also listed in his CEF papers is a sister, Bridget. I also have a picture of a Patrick Davies, which is believed to be his brother.
He married Eunice Clair Hayes on 09 July 1924, in Redondo Beach, California. They had one daughter, my grandmother, Mary Alice Davies Johnson. They are listed in the 1930 U.S. Census in Los Angeles, California. The family moved to Grants Pass, Oregon, in 1946. He remained in Grants Pass until his death on 04 October 1991.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
