MY GRAND FATHER ALEXANDER CALDWELL WAS BORN DEC 8TH 1902

TRYING TO FIND HIS BROTHERS AND SISTERS.
I DID FIND IN THE COMMONWEALTH GRAVES COMMISSION A JOHN CALDWELL
WHO DIED IN THE WAR AS A AIR RAID WARDEN.
HE WAS 41 YRS OLD IN 1941 .
MY MOM REMEMBERS THAT HER GRANDMOTHER REMARRIED.
SHE DOESN'T RECALL HER NEW MARRIED NAME.
BUT ON THE INFO IN THE CWGC SITE THEY HAD HIS MOTHER LISTED AS MARGARET
HALLMARK AND WIFE BEATRICE MY MOM REMEMEBERS BEATRICE BECAUSE SHE WAS BLIND AND AS A CHILD IT WAS HER FIRST ENCOUNTER WITH A BLIND PERSON.
MY MOM REMEMBERS THE STREET ADDRESS AND ITS THE SAME AS ON THE SITE SO WE THINK ITS A MATCH.
MY QUESTION IS SINCE MARGARET REMARRIED HOW DO I FIND HER DEATH CERTIFICATE.I ALSO NEED TO FIND JOHN SR. AND MARGARET'S BIRTH AND MARRIAGE
CERTIFICATE.HOW DO I FIND JAMES BIRTH CERTIFICATE AND DEATH CERTIFICATE AS WELL.
MY MOM MARRIED A AMERICAN AND WE LIVE IN FLORIDA .
THANKS FOR YOUR HELP.

Hi,
have you already searched freebmd for the people you are trying to trace? I had a glance but unfortunately I couldn't find many entries.
There is an entry for the birth of a John Duncan Caldwell in dec quarter of 1899. I already saw, but it's only a guess, an entry for the birth of a Richard Duncan Caldwell in June quarter 1904 and a Duncan Caldwell in March quarter 1906. Unfortunately, you won't know who their parents are unless you order their birth certificates at the GRO (7 pounds each)...
As for Census data, I have spotted a family which might be yours, but the ages rarely match:
1891 in Kirkdale:
James, head, 49
Elizabeth, wife, 51
Isabella, dau, 18
Duncan, son, 16
Alexander, son, 14
James, son, 22 + wife Alice and a baby son
1881 in Liverpool:
James, head, 43
Elizabeth, wife, 42
Elizabeth, dau, 13
James, son, 14
Isable, dau, 10
John, son, 4
Alexander, son, 3
1871 in Liverpool St Titus
James, 28
Eliza, wife, 26
Eliza, dau, 7
James, son, 4
Isabella, dau, 1
James is a boiler maker. I wouldn't swear they're one and the same family and they are yours, though!
As far as the other info is concerned, Margaret's marriage to Mr Hallmark etc., I think you would have to search on 1837online.com - be prepared to spend many credits, though!
Sorry - I'm afraid this is not much you can work on :(
