On the 1901 census his name is down as Sidney Buxton

Assuming he did marry and it happened in England/wales then it's a trawl through the full marriage index quarter by quarter and noting the possibles.

Not impossible but it's a bit tedious, once all the possibles have been found it's a case of trying to eliminate the unlikely ones and going down the certificate route.

An alternative is to try and find his death ref, order the cert and hope the informant is either his widow or possibly a son/daughter.
