William John was born in South Mountain, ON near the St. Lawrence River. He moved to Hamilton about the time of his marriage to Margaret Ann Prescott in May 1885. Margaret & William John Caldwell had four children - Margaret, Harry (Henry,) William and Mary.

William John is listed in the 1886 Hamilton Directory as a 'moulder,' residing at 205 John Street North. He was also involved with the Stelco Foundry in Hamilton, although he never worked for them. When the foundry was opened, they had to get others to come in and light the fires. Wm. John was one of those men. But he was a blacksmith by trade.

Of the eight children born to Henry and Margaret, only two remained in Hamilton - their daughter Margaret and her brother William John.

William John Caldwell passed away at age 71 and is buried with his wife at the Woodland Cemetery in Hamilton ON.
