Why do people believe unquestioningly what they see on such sites?

Why don't they CHECK and get factual info?

This poster obviously doesn't trust the GR helpers...........he'll learn!

It's a very simple matter to obtain a cert or two........................

Jim said this info came from griffithsgenealogypages.
Sidney H Bunn son of James and Hannah Maria nee Fiske was at St Hilary terrace in 1911 with wife Beatrice.

So it is that sites wrong info that he is going by.They need to do the research better.

PM received by me stating the 1911 census with Sidney(Cottishall Norfolk) and Beatrice is not his and that the other one born Barnby Suffolk is his!!!
I have tried to convince him by saying the one born Barnby (parents James and Hannah)joined the army in 1908/9 and in 1911 was at Royal Artillary Barracks in Trowbridge.

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

MarieCeleste Report 28 Mar 2014 22:17

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.
