I have requested help with this before but now have more info from certs so apologies if it seems familiar.
I'm looking for family of Herbert Charles Codd b between 1874 -77. I have found a likely family but am not 100%. He is sometimes known as Herbert Charles and sometimes Charles Herbert and the same for his father so v confusing.
The Facts.
Herbert Charles Codd served in the British Army then moved to the Indian Army. He was of English nationality (NB. CWGC record him as Indian but marriage cert and birth cert for son record him as English) and his Grandaughter "believes" him to have been born in the UK to a London family. (No proof)
Date of Birth Apr 1874 (from Army Short Service papers) or 1877 (from marriage certificate). On army papers his name and signature are Herbert Charles Codd. Died 19 Mar 1920 Meerut, India.
Marriage 1 to Alice Johannah Brien on 7 Aug 1901 in St Thomas Mount, Madras, India. She died 18 Jun 1902 Pallavarum, Madras, India. Groom recorded as Herbert Charles Codd but he signed Charles Herbert Codd. Overseas cert so it is a handwritten copy not a scan. Groom's father Herbert Charles Codd, dead.
Marriage 2 to Muriel Wilhelmina Fletcher on 23 Feb 1903 in Bezwada, India. Groom recorded as and signed Herbert Charles Codd. Groom's father Charles Herbert Codd Occupation M.D. deceased. I assumed this to mean doctor but now think it is possible his son invented this to improve his own standing.

Marriage 2 Leonard Bennett. Returned to UK in 1947.
1881 England Census Class: RG11/543; Folio: 13; Page: 19 Father Charles Codd b1853 Lincoln, mother Sophia Codd b1855 Southwark, Charles Codd b1877 St Lukes, Middlesex. (Household Beavis family)
London marriages 10 Oct 1875
Sophia Beavis to Herbert Charles Codd. The signature of the groom is very similar to the signature of "his son" on his army papers.
Would really like to find a bap for Charles Codd b 1877 to see if the name Herbert is used.
Have I got the right family or am I clutching at straws?
