This great site for searching your war first world war ancestors in Manchester And Salford is reached on the Lancashire Spinning the Web, which is about the cotton Industry.
http://spinningtheweb.org.ukEnter global search from the entry page and this will bring up a thumb print of any of your names associated with the first World War, as well as the cotton industry. Load and enlarge to get a better view. It lists medals, addresses, service and occasionally where the soldier died.
The pages are copied from the National Publishing Book of the Great War in 1920, and I do not think it captured all soldiers, so you may have to still look at other sources.
