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.

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.

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........................
