Thank you, its been ages since I did all this and you have just kicked started me again. I think there may be a link between us somewhere but not sure where your connection to Percy Godley comes in  would be interested to know.

Percy (or Pete) Godley had two children with Minnie called Florence and Ronald. Minnie died with their third child at Hellingly, East Sussex and Percy eventually remarried Caroline Anderson who was a nurse at the hospital were he worked. There were two children from the second marriage.
I have a considerable amount of information on the Godleys taking them back to the 1700's along most of the marriage lines but I don't have much in the way of direct information about my grandfather. Perhaps we could get in contact outside of this forum. If you would like that my e-mail address is

Have a look at the 'My Brighton and Hove Messages' website.
A conrtibutor is researching Robert Clement Godley, a member of the same family.

Roy, Many thanks for this information the Godley family is by no means an easy one to get my head around, Percy would have been my Great Great Grandfather.
I have looked on teh website as suggested and I think I really need to study it as I have no idea where all teh connections fit.

spower, I hope you received my mail ok if there are any pics etc that anyone has and wouldn't mind me having a copy would really appreciate it  :)

Hephzibah & James Godley are buried in the East Churchyard of St John the Evangelist church, Burgess Hill.  Their tombstone reads:  James Godley born 15 July 1839 died 1 April 1889 also of Hephzibah his wife died 4 April 1906 aged 73 years.  Let me know if you would like me to try and find the stone and email you a photo.  Dazey

Yes please that would be great. Is the East Churchyard different to the one around the church?

No - it just means that the grave is in the eastern part of the churchyard which surrounds the church.  I'll try and find it next time I'm down that way and get back to you soon,  Dazey

The gravestone is against the east wall and hidden behind a load of brambles.
