It may well be the best £9-25p you ever spent Dan, if it was me I would take the plunge, until you find anything in the newspapers, I don't think you will move forward with him, I have a great great grandfather who was just the same, but he used more elaborate names, such as Marco Emile De St Hilaire and Alexander Charles Borromeo, when his real name was Charles Tucker, I had to go down to Kew just to move on another 4 years, still don't know what became of him when he was released from prison.

Regards Pat.

Have sent you the details in a message Dan but someone has posted it above so you are all set to go. 
I think we all look forward to knowing what it says as much as you!

I'm afraid I haven't been able to help but spent yesterday afternoon looking for Gordon Ronald's  born 1900 but to no avail so will be waiting with beited breath for the certificate to arrive!

Good luck

Am I getting confused here? I thought it was Gordon Rowland he was called (or was that just a type error Suziq?)

Name: Gordon Richard MARKINSON
b. 09/12/1900 somewhere in London (no birth certificate records)
d. 26/03/1971 in Leeds, West Yorkshire

From the first post. I thought we were looking for Gordon Richard Markinson?

[Milliepede]

He became Gordon Richard Markinson but the prison record name (which may or may not be the same man) is under the name Gordon Rowland Markerson.  However this may not have been his  birth name either seeing as we can't find a birth under either name.
See post below for clarification.

We have now undertaken a search of the Armley Prison collection (ref. C187) and I am afraid we were not able to find an entry for Gordon Richard Markinson.  There was, however an entry for a Gordon Rowland Markerson imprisoned at a similar date to your enquiry.  This gentleman seemed to match the description you had given and was imprisoned for a similar offence.  He was admitted to the prison on the 22nd of October 1949 and was released on the 9th of January 1950.

Thanks for clarifying that Milliepede.
I must have missed that update
