Have you tried to do any research yourself, Mark?

A number of other members have Caleb in their trees. Have you sent messages to any of them?

i have hundreds of names on my family tree
i have accessed bmd records census records etc
i was looking for more personal info like job locations home addresses
living relatives

i have caleb redman at potters cross wootton when he died in 1919
but do not have a house number or name

That info should be on the death cert.

As for living relatives, you’ve been advised on both of your threads where to start looking

thanks for the advice & information
