I'm trying to determine whether this person is my grandfather. Do you have any date of birth or where he was born. My grandfather was born November 1, 1894 in Cambridge Massachusetts but might have said he was born in Newfoundland where his father was born and where he came as a child. The person below is the one I'm interested in. thank you for any help you can give me.

Lawrence (my grandfather) Hickey was born in Cambridge which is part of Boston. I think it's the same person. My mother said he lied about his date of birth to join the service. Thank you so much. this is awesome..

that is my grandfather. My grandmother was Matilda born in Ayr Scotland.. You don't know how much this means to me, my brothers, sisters and cousins.. I wish my mother was still alive. Luckily she tried to tell me as much as she could about her parents who died when she was 16 years of age.
Thank you again.
ps: if you find any information on a Annie C Haven who married william Hickey but I think she might have died in Boston.. thanks again.. This is the most information we have been able to find. My mother was born in NFL too..
