If you look on FreeBMD he seems to be the eldest child of 5 children which could make it easier to locate him perhaps through one of them

Presume he knows about you


This looks like his parents

Marriages Jun 1940
Cadwallader Benjamin Hunt Kidderminster 6c 323
Hunt Katie Cadwallader Kidderminster 6c 323

Purely on the area wonder about this one

Benjamin Cadwallader
Death Age: 65
Birth Date: 4 Dec 1909
Registration Date: Mar 1975
Registration district: Worcester
Inferred County: Hereford and Worcester
Volume: 29
Page: 0914

Same area so looks correct

Katie Cadwallader
Death Age: 94
Birth Date: 20 Jul 1913
Registration Date: Mar 2007
Registration district: Worcester
Inferred County: Worcestershire
Volume: -1
Page: -1
Register Number: 1C001
District and Subdistrict: 527/1C

So the informant on her death cert could be family

I think he was an only child so no siblings x

If he was definitely born in Stock on Trent in the 1940's then the 1942 birth is the only one. He has a middle name as he is registered as David J. Cadwallader.

His parents married in the Kidderminster reg district and there are children with the same birth surnames rreg after him in the same area

He was born in WW2 so his parents could have moved around a bit


Just an observation
:-)


I would be inclined to get the deaths certs of his parents to see who the informants were

Shirley,

Those other 4 children belong to another couple who married in 1945 in Wellingbro'.

The David who has David bn 1942 in his tree also has Ben Cadwallader born 1913, now whether that is just a guess or not it does tie in with the marriage posted below.

There are two Benjamin Cadwallader births 1913/14, one died the following year , but this one born liverpool

Births Dec 1913 (>99%)
Cadwallader Benjamin Booth Toxteth P. 8b 399


1939 REGISTER TRANSCRIPTION

Cadwallader Household (5 People)
53 Vandyke Street , Liverpool C.B., Lancashire, England

Benjamin Cadwallader 29 Oct 1914 Male Moto Driver Coal Single 264 3
Benjamin Cadwallader 25 May 1882 Male Coal Merchant Married 264 1
Edith Cadwallader 16 Jul 1876 Female Unpaid Domestic Duties Married 264 2
Alice Anderson (Cadwallader) 27 Feb 1917 Female Tailoress Single 264 4
Elizabeth Booth 20 Sep 1881 Female Toilet Attendant Single 264 5

BUT it does look likely Benjamin married in Liverpool 1943, so may well not be him.
