Hi. I am trying to find out about Sydney Harry Bunn. He was born in Coltishall, Norfolk in 1888.
His parents were Henry George Bunn and Mary Ann Bunn.
his brothers and sisters were. Edith Bunn born 1896 and Cecil Bunn born 1892.
The family lived in Coltishall, Norfolk in the 1901 census.
In the 1911 census they had moved to Oulton Broad. Lowestoft, Suffolk
Sydney Harry was missing from this Census.
I have possible records that he may have got married to Ada Elizabeth Segasby.
Can anyone help me please ? to confirm this.
Regards Jim Bunn

There is a tree on ancestry that has the 1919 marriage certificate of Sidney Harry Bunn to Ada Elizabeth Segasby.

That man is a fisherman aged 29 of 15 Royal Terrace, Victoria Road, West Lowestoft. He was a bachelor.

His father was James Bunn, a general labourer. One of the witnesses was an E E Bunn.

EDIT: Have also found the WW1 pension records for the man from the 1919 marriage, confirms father as James, mother as Hannah with siblings James and Rose - so can probably be eliminated as the the man you are looking for.

Looking at the original image of the 1913 outgoing passenger list, I think there's a possibility that the surname might actually be Brown.

The fact that the guesswork about his marriage has been proved wrong has not been mentioned
