Tim, have you asked the local register office for that area to search for it? It could be one of those registrations that got lost somewhere between the local register office and the GRO?

[KiteRunner]

Oh, and another idea would be to go to Bedfordshire Record Office or Archives and look at the burial register for that parish to see if his burial is listed.

[KiteRunner]

Just checked, and the registration district for Keysoe would have been Bedford in those days.

[KiteRunner]

Oh, how about John BARNARD age 77 Sep 1874 Bedford, vol 3b p 171?

Quite a lot of records are duplicated at Bedford central library, though the records office is also (just) within walking distance of the town centre.
