Does a phone number appear in the display of the phone when these calls occur?
If not do you have the CND (call number display) feature provided by your landline service provider on the phone?
If you have the feature and there is no number displayed then the caller is not forwarding their number on the call.
This makes it difficult to find out who called. Usually the service provider only helps in the case of harassing or threatening calls and not intermittent nuisance calls. But you could always ask them
If you don't have the feature perhaps you should invest in it. Go to your phone service provider's website to find out how much it costs.
On mobile services CND is free but on most landline services it costs.
You could also check your provider's website to see if there is a "code number" that you can dial from your phone to find out the number of the phone that last called your phone. If there isn't any info contact the provider and ask.

Other than that there's not much you can do except perhaps invest in an answer machine to answer the calls and for you to turn down the ringer volume. That way if there is an important call the caller can leave a message.
