Have you noticed that there is an arrow against his name on the original image of the index? It is the only name marked that way on the page, perhaps the reason for that  is whatever is preventing him showing up on the GRO website.

Thank you so much for all your sterling work! I've been pondering over this for weeks.

John Corden named his daughter Millicent, (my great grandmother). I always wondered where that name came from!

I noticed the Baker family on a census record but I really wasn't sure if there was a connection or not but i think you have all confirmed that there is.

He died very young, aged 32 so there aren't that many records to search, although I know he was married in Essex,(he was in the Royal Artillary), so I could send for the marriage certificate, but I have learnt more about him today than in months of searching.
Thank you everyone!
And thank you Phillip, I will try what you suggested.

Well, I tried every different name combination I could think of when searching the records... other than "Dordon".
Thank you jonw65!

Thanks garstonite, I had no idea about Millicent or that she had remarried so that will be very interesting to look in to. Could be more distant cousins to find!
