Hey long shot, but my great great grandfather Darrington Green, lived in the same house as Thomas and Permelia and Heychiak. He was 12 years old and an orphan. This is as far back as I can go. Does anyone know any information or how at 12 he came to live with Thomas and Permelia? Any help would be hugely appreciated.

Using the new GRO index his birth was registered at Huntingdon Oct/Nov/Dec quarter 1868 mothers maiden name KING
Volume 03B page 253 as Dorrington Green

You might also check the poor law records for Godmanchester for any record of placement, he was not necessarily a true orphan, if the mother could no longer support the family children were apprenticed out, or in the case of Dorrington was able to go to school.
