*ARC TBC*Looking for George Collingbourne b1803.

So I'm stuck.. Again
I've got to my 3rd great grandfather on my dad's side. He was George Collingbourne b1803 in Gloucestershire (according to one of the census records.
He married Harriett Jones in 1840 in London, they were both widowed. They lived at 6 Salmon Lane in Limehouse, he was a milkman and his father according to the marriage record of him and Harriet was John, a farmer.
Records seem very scarce prior to 1840 and I can't find a census record or any birth or baptism records that I think might apply to him. Someone on ancestry did upload something about a baptism on 6 Feb 1803 with parents named as John and Amy.. So this could be him but I'm not sure. Ancestry and Find my past aren't really turning up much.. Where else can I look. I'm not sure at what point he came from Gloucestershire to London?
Any pointers welcomed!
