Below are links to some websites that I have found useful, they are not run by me and I can't guarantee any information on them (usual disclaimers apply) they will open in a new window.
This site holds a wide range of information about soldiers killed in WW1 and WW2 drawn from a variety of resources including newspaper reports and obituaries. It has an online database where you can search for your name of interest and a free service to search their full database (not all online yet) and report what they hold for that soldier with a small fee if you choose to order a copy of the information.
- an amazing site with a searchable database of all the inscriptions from this Liverpool cemetery.
Toxteth Park Cemetery - searchable database of the burial records from this Liverpool Cemetery, most records give date of burial, age at death and address of the deceased.
The Long Long Trail - a truly amazing resource with information about everything WW1. Also has information on tracing your military ancestors and is very useful for finding out where a particular battalion was during the war.

Thankyou very much for doing this research.I was randomly making Google searches and came across the blog. Edward Burston was my late mother's cousin. I had found him on a census, having known nothing about him and now you have brought him to life in great detail. Charles Burston, with whom he lived, was my Grandad. I also found some Anfield burials of Burstons with another of your links! I'm so grateful! Stephanie Tulej
