Cold anyone please list the Doctor Syn series by Russel Thorndyke in the order that they were published? I have got hold of two, but I believe that there were about five.

The Dr. Syn books detail his adventures and attempts to evade the Excise tax. There are:
Doctor Syn: A Tale of the Romney Marsh (1915)
Doctor Syn on the High Seas (1935)
Doctor Syn Returns (1936)
Further Adventures of Doctor Syn (1936)
Courageous Exploits of Doctor Syn (1938)
Amazing Quest of Doctor Syn (1939)
Shadow of Doctor Syn (1944)
An expanded version of Doctor Syn Returns titled The Scarecrow Rides was published by The Dial Press in 1935.
In 1960 American author William Buchanan used the character in his novel Christopher Syn. This is essentially a reworking of Further Adventures of Doctor Syn with a different conclusion and some conflation and renaming of the supporting characters. Christopher Syn became the basis for the 1962 Disney production. There was also a book adaptation of the Disney theatrical version, titled Doctor Syn, Alias the Scarecrow and written by Vic Crume.

Unfortunately I have just given away my Dr. Syn books. If you can get into a public library there is a useful book produced by the librarians professional body that lists sequels. This will give you a full list of the books in order of publication. You will need to ask for the book as it is used by staff rather than kept on the shelves.
