Robyn,
If the birth date(s) are post-1900 it is unlikely that death would have been
caused prior to 1918 because of their age, so if you are to laboriously work
through the CWGC listsings, I recommend you start there. But note that many
entries do not record the names of family relations so even that may prove
fruitless. Good luck!

All the best,
Andrew
