Do you have a copy of theor marriage certificate? This will give father's names and occupations. Can't find his birth though.

His medal card is on Ancestry.

He was a Sergeant in the Welsh Regiment. Hi number was 14194. He served in France in 1915 and was discharged 28th Sept. 1916.

I can't find him on any census.

Hi Anthony,.
I think it is more than possible that Myron was American. I have looked on the I.G.I.index and there are quite a few listed, Copy of the marriage certificate should give some clues. ie was he a british subject, who was his Father and his Fathers occupation. I think this is the first item you need.Ethel.
