Looking for Gerald William Bunt

[Karytay]

I have very little info to go on. Gerald William Bunt b. abt. Apr 1915 Cornwall. Married Margaret Roy Taylor b. 1906. Had two sons Clarence Gerald Bunt and John Desmond Bunt.

Gerald William Bunt immigrated to South Africa, I think this is were he met Margaret. They lived in Durban as a married couple.

What I like to know is where in Cornwall did he come from and what was his parents names? Did he come out to South Africa with his parents? or did he come alone? and when?

Thanks Karen

FreeBMD has an entry in

Q2 of 1915 for the birth of a Gerald W BUNT, mother's maiden name ELWORTHY in Bodmin Registration District
and
Q2 of 1906 for the marriage of a Roger Henwood BUNT and a Gertrude Annie ELWORTHY in Christchurch Registration District.

Can't see anything else that looks more likely.

If the birth date in Cornwall is a guess I wondered about this earlier birth on FreeBMD???

An Ancestry tree has him dying in Plymouth in 1958

We're not getting very far are we, Kay99?

Now I am even more confused
I see I have Gerald William Bunt's wife's birth date as 1906 but his date as 1915 so that makes her older than him by 9 years. By the way her birth date is correct, I have her birth record. So is this unusual to have a wife so much older than her husband?

His wife died in Johannesburg South Africa. But I do not know what happened to him, if he died in Durban South Africa.

I think this tree may have confused his death with William John Bunt in other trees

Kaytay - Do you have a marriage year for Gerald??
