You can save a lot of time by helping us to help you by providing such information as would make your people stand out from the crowd. The names are useful - I'm guessing that those are birth or baptism years? Where was the family when those births happened.

As Lesley stated @#4

It would have been useful to have known the information @ #6/7 this is the starting point for those of us who help in your search or at least some of it to then search for your WW1 family.

Have you eliminated any who may have been killed in action ( KIA) the cwgc.org site will assist in that process, alternatively as these are family have you checked with other family members / GRO for date of death.

This family history forum site is free to use and a sister site to the subscription site Forces War Records, we do not have access to that site unless we subscribe!

Have you read the National Archives guidance?

It's free to search on Ancestry and the you're the man with all the identity details and can spot one of your men more easily than we can. Doesn't seem much point in us doing something that you can do more effectively for yourself.
