New Brunswick, yes?
I have looked at Automatedgenealogy.
Everyone has aged a bit.
I looked at 1901 census
I looked at the 1852 census
I have looked at the 1871 census, and no Godines were there.

Could be Goodine

I favour Gaudin, but we can many at of the family(ies).
I would suggest they look at Worldconnect.
Worldconnect.com
Most have travelled through New Brunswick. as well as Quebec.

I guess I would say, 1."What can we do to find your families"?
                                 2. "What would you like to achieve?"

In the 1851 census, you have Susan age 92, have you ruled out her as the chap that is 103. I think from your post that you are looking for the first name of the 103 year old not the surname.

Can you give the area of New Brunswick that you found the family and I will try to find some further info.

The 1852 does say Susan, but M for male... here is the image... I figured it might be the same fellow as in 1861 due to the age...I see transcrips of Susan in 1852, Sosau in 1861 (on FHS but no images available) I am wondering if the last letter is a U and the first perhaps a T ...Could be phonetic Tusan for Touiussant? Pure spec at this point as there are several but none of this age in births for Quebec thus far...

1851 image Goodine Kingsclear, York, New Brunswick, Canada...Note that there is a family in previous home with an elderly lady "Emma" as well so could also be more familthere

previous household

At this stage, Mary might be a likely mother, the elderly couple in household a grandparents ??  I'll look for the 1871 and see who else shows up near him...then see if there are deaths for the more elderly Godine Gooding Googing, Godin ) Last one would be the truer version from the French

ahha... why didn't I notice the 'M' before!... I guess when I saw Susan I just presumed it was a woman, must be a mistranscription then.. Tusan could well be a possibility... first letter looks like an L to me.
They seem like a large family.. any marriage records available or baptisms perhaps for more clues?

Here they are as "Godnie" add a John 1862, Matilda 1865 and Retta ( or Rettie) 1866

Here are lots of spellings on 2 pages from 1871 as a quick reference http://www.rootschat.com/links/0k1n/

Other Godine on previous pages a young John & Julieanne, Edward & Mary, John & Bridget prior pages 6&7  Unfortunately pages 8 & 9 are not in order...

You may be right about an "L" as here is another Godine on 1871 named "Losaw?"

Certainly not a typical french name...    Hmmm, although just may be LAZARE?

Age is off but if this is Francis , Susan's surname may be King...If you know this to be true let us know in case a marriage is ever found  https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/XG87-74N
