Many Thanks to Brian Shingler who emailed the village with this

I am also attaching a summary of some of my research into the names on the War Memorials.  I am sorry that I have not been able to positively identify the “A Carter”,  and being a common name there are lots of A Carters in the casualty lists, and nothing to link any of them specifically to Ashford Carbonel. There were no Carters living in Ashford Carbonel or Ashford Bowdler in the 1911 census but I have been able to identify all the others.  The Davies brothers were a bit tricky, but once I had identified the one they both fell into place.  John and William were the eldest out of five boys of a John Davies and his wife Sarah Jane.  John was a carpenter and joiner and in 1891 the family were living in Condover, in 1901 they were living in Bitterley, and in 1911 they were living at No 6, Ashford Carbonell, but by the time of the certificates to John and William they had moved back to Ryton near Condover.
I am also attaching the certificates for the eight men that I have been able to identify (Editor note: you can access the certificates by clicking on the PDF link). No doubt there could be a lot more information to discover by going to their respective regiments.
