Trying to find Gerald William Bunt

I am trying to find Gerald William Bunt born abt 1903 in Cornwall. Like to know when he came out to South Africa and if he returned to Cornwall later in life? Thanks

Names wrong way around?

Name: William Jerald Bunt
Birth: Jan 1903  - Redruth, Cornwall

Or;
Name: Gerald W Bunt
Birth: Apr 1915  - Bodmin, Cornwall
This one seems to have married  Audrey M CRAPP 1942

Were his Parents William BUNT and Ethel Maud HICK, married 1900?
If so they are not on the 1911 Census.

Trish I think the first one you gave is the Gerald I am looking for. Maybe it suppose to be Jerald William. Thanks for parents names will see what I can find about them. Just wondering if they emigrated to South Africa that is why they are not on the 1911 census?

For William got married in South Africa to Meg Taylor or Margaret Taylor.

Sorry about that I should of looked properly first if I asked this question before.

Consider this closed

Thanks everyone.

Found something of interest, went back to South African Archives online and found this-

DESCRIPTION          ILLIQUID CASE DIVORCE WILLIAM POPE BUNT VERSUS ETHEL MAUD (BORN       
           HICK).                                                               
STARTING  19290000                                                             
ENDING    19290000                                   

 and

DESCRIPTION          ILLIQUID CASE DIVORCE WILLIAM POPE BUNT VERSUS EVA (FORMERLY         
           BLOOMFIELD, FORMERLY BURGER, BORN DOVER).                           
STARTING  19400000                                                             
ENDING    19400000                                     
 
and

DESCRIPTION          BUNT, WILLIAM POPE.                                                   
STARTING  19480000

REMARKS   SURVIVING SPOUSE JOHANNA CORNELIA BUNT. (BORN DE LANGE).     


So if all three are the same man he was very busy! He divorced Ethal Maud Hick in 1929
Married Eva Blloomfield come Burger born Dover and then divorced her in 1940
Then married for a third time, to Johanna Cornelia de Lange
then he died in 1948 leaving her a widow.

Now I must order the documents. Thanks everyone for your help.
