Mary Rignal ,as mentioned by Galium in reply #7, may be Ann Rignal's sister. She , Ann and another sister Rebecca were all entered in the register at Bluntisham on the same day.

CB53--"You mention that you have the deaths in England of the David and Ann Godfrey from the 1846 marriage . I can see a death in 1848 for a David Godfrey in Huntingdonshire but from newspaper reports he was 72 and I can't see Ann at all. I'm probably missing something."

I didn't see a marriage record. I have a death record for David Godfrey in 1899 in Manistee county, MI, USA. I don't think the above David and Ann Rignall are the one's I am looking for. Unless they visited and were in the census. With all this extra info, I have something I can work with now. :-)
Thanks everyone! :D
