Have you checked their military records on Ancestry? WW1 at least you might find someone mentioned as next of kin...or a clue to date ...if you want to give me name I will look.

Researching:

Does anyone know how i can find out the parentage of soldiers Killed in action i dont think death certificates do. All i know about them is their rank, their corps, the date they were killed in action and where and maybe where they last lived nothing else
Any ideas i have tried Genes Trees nothing as i can only guess on their DOB
