If you can post in WW1 forum for someone to have a look at SDGW(soldiers died in great war) you can ask it for specific places of birth,enlistment and residence or a mix of all three.
It should narrow things down if they died then use in conjunction with CWGC.

I havent access to mine at present...its also on ancestry.

Ady
Lowe(Lower Gornall-Castleford)
Blackburn (Castleford)
Sidwell(Ledsham)
Fairburn(Hartshead)
Wood(Liversedge)
Tallon (Whittington Lancs/Hartshead West Yorkshire)

Researching all Great War soldiers from the Spen Valley of West Yorkshire Especially lads from the Cleckheaton Company of 1/4th West Riding Regiment.
