Being new here, unexperienced on this forum and not English, encouragement is appreciated. Because of my limitation, difficult for me to verify if a search result is a correct match. Therefor I asked on the forum help with some extra names.
Sorry, I don't know yet about the status of relation of Elisha, John, Mary GODLEY in 1841 in Lindfield / County (rosie99). Hoped to find out that sister Lucy married to a John with maybe the surname GATES (willsy) (rosie99).
It makes sense that WT GODLEY joined the Navy / Marines, that must be correct. It explains why he left the UK (cath151) (willsy).
About the Packham girls, by now, I doubt direct connection with WT himself. Although they relate to some Godley family like John and Thomas GODLEY (rosie99).
Father of sister Lucy and WT himself is defenitely Thomas GODLEY.
I wonder if father Thomas married twice: to a Lucy SKINNER and to a Mary SKINNER. Or that his wife was named Lucy Mary or Mary Lucy.
Indeed Barnet I saw more often in connection with familyname Godley (Neale1961).
I am not involved in any tree publication about descendants (Neale1961).
My focus is on ancestors William Thomas GODLEY and his younger years in the UK.
Suggestions are welcome. If nobody can help further, I respect all the efforts sofar. And thankfull for the kind help received.
