The John Pollard mentioned by Mary is also shown on the Commonwealth War Graves Site.
That is a free site --- shows where soldiers who were killed in action are buried and is searchable.
https://www.cwgc.org/However this really depends on whether this is your ancestor. It you have his first name look at another free site
http://www.lancashirebmd.org.uk/This will show you births, marriages and deaths for Lancashire and will provide his mother's maiden name. You should then find his parents marriage.
Transcribed census records are available on Family Search -- again free.
Lancashire Parish records you can find on
http://www.lan-opc.org.uk ----- again a free site.
However you really need to provide his first name if you can and then we know whether we are looking at the correct soldier's records.
(I see that Willyam may just have found the correct person - but the sites I have mentioned are useful for future reference)
Also there is an 'Accrington Web' discussion Forum -- free but you will need to register. What they don't know on there about the East Lancs Regiment and Accy soldiers is not worth knowing!
