Daniel Jr. was my father. I have heard that he and my mother had three children, Pamela, Raymond and Darlene. I know that Raymond and Darlene (me) were put up for adoption in Chicago around 1950. I never knew about Pamela until just recently and don't know if you were raised by Daniel or our mother or if you're a half sister or what the circumstances were. Hopefully you can fill me in? My name now is Sara. Warmest regards...

Would be grateful for the lineage of Augustine Godfrey b1589 Woodnesborough, Kent, England. I have seen parents given as Thomas Godfrey & Mary Neame but with wildly differing dates & pedigrees. I'd eventually like to trace him back to Thomas Godfrey (died 1430) & Joan Tamworth. I'm researching the possible line of descent below (all of Lydd, Kent). Thanks.

sarakawewehi — 2012-05-14 20:54:12Z

My father was Daniel Jr. but I was put up for adoption at age 3 as was my brother. I used to be Darlene Godfrey; my brother was Raymond. Daniel was married to Thelma and they divorced then Thelma put us up for adoption. Illinois birth records were only recently opened and that's how I got the info on Daniel and Thelma but I have nothing else other than Daniel Sr. was my grandfather and I believe Sernea was my grandmother. I understand my father was married three times. Would this make you my sister?

I am also Daniel Jr.'s daughter but was put up for adoption around 1950.

Wow! You're right, we'd be second cousins. I know nothing about anything at this point. Adoption records were just opened in Illinois in November of 2011 and it took me 6 months to get a copy of my "original" birth certificate. I'm just beginning this journey. Thank you so much for anything you can provide me to fill in a lot of blanks. Regards, Sara

Re: william godrey Serena Joy

sarakawewehi — 2012-05-14 13:53:34Z

I am the daughter of Daniel Godfrey, Jr. I was put up for adoption when Daniel and my mother divorced around 1950. Adoption records were just recently opened in Illinois where I was adopted. My name used to be Darlene and I had a brother Raymond, also placed for adoption. I crave any info you have on my family.

Hello Rusty, been trying to find you. I'm Colleen Allison, Betty Allison's daughter and yout dad is my 1st cousin. I heard you were doing this and I've been trying but not much luck. Can you contact me alasbutterfly at yahoo . com or on face book. My phone is 509 770 0838. Please contact me because I need to know who my family is in SC, and who are our ancesters. I'd be grateful for any help you can give. If I can help you, just let me know. Love, your 2nd cousin, Colleen Allison

Re: Williamstown Godfrey's

Robert260 — 2012-05-11 22:49:35Z

I think it is second cousin because my mom was Dan SR's. sister. You are Dan JR's child correct? No matter anyway. As far as your mom, sometimes women went my nicknames or equivalent names. Do you know about any of your step brothers & sisters? I will sent you a family photo of William has wife Serena and the eleven children. I need your e-mail address.

Re: Williamstown Godfrey's

sarakawewehi — 2012-05-11 12:59:18Z

I'm Darlene, or I was anyway. My brother Raymond and I were put up for adoption when I was about 3 and Raymond almost 5. My name was changed to Sara and I never saw my brother again. I'm confused because it says the name of my mother on my original birth certificate was "Thelma", not Francis. There was a child born during our parents separation and given up immediately for adoption. That may have been Pamela. I have no information about my mother and very little about my father. I'm in my 60's now and want to know before it's too late for me so any direction you could point me in would be great. I'm especially looking for pictures. You'd be my first cousin, correct?

Re: Williamstown Godfrey's

Robert260 — 2012-05-10 23:30:20Z

Darlene

You are correct about Daniel, Sr & William. William was my grandfather. My mother was Evelyn, one Dan senior's sisters.
As for Dan, Jr, I have that he had three wives 1- Dorothy Mae, one child Dorothy Mae; Francis, three children Pamela, Darlene & Raymond and lastly Lynn three children Daniel,
Kathy & David. I do not have the order or dates. I met Dan;Sr when he visited to New Jersey a couple of times. William & eight of his 11 children moved to New Jersey.

Re: Williamstown Godfrey's

sarakawewehi — 2012-05-10 21:45:04Z

I am Daniel Godfrey, Jr's daughter, I think. His father was Daniel Godfrey, Sr. whose father I believe was William. Daniel Jr. was born 10/23/19 in Massachusetts.
Daniel Jr. married Thelma Arnold while he was stationed in Kentucky around 1945. They had two children, Raymond (1945)and Darlene (me, 1947) and both children were put up for adoption in Chicago when Daniel and Thelma divorced. Any info you can give me would be appreciated.

I am a descendant of Herbert and Jane Torrey. I'm sorry I don't have any info on George Godfrey for you....I hadn't even gotten that far yet. But I do have a small correction for your "skeleton". The town that Herbert and Jane would have been married in was "Minden" with an N.

Have you been able to locate any more info on George since you posted this 6 years ago? I would be interested in any info you may have.

Hello, Amy!

I am working on this family for my friend. I have tracked the daughters, but have had some challenges with the sons.

I can't find anything on Levirge b abt 1854; William b abt 1862; or Thomas b abt 1871 = sons of John & Thursey Godfrey and 'am interested in what you know.

I also found Monroe Godfrey's 1875 AL Death certificate. Here is his sister = Mary Isabella ["Belle"] Goodfrey Boyd's 8 Apr 1936 AL Death Certificate. I hope it is correct even though "JOHNSON" is probably a challenge to track. I have seen a couple of trees that have Thursey's last name as "Pate" - but I believe that may be "speculation" based upon the 1860 US Federal Census for John and Thursay when they lived briefly in Tishomingo Co., Mississippi. "A" John Pate [50] b al is listed with the family. It has him as "House carpenter" He may, or may NOT, be kin. [They are also on another 1860 US Federal Census in Eastern Division, Walker Co., AL [below Mary B. Boyd's DC]

"Lizzie" now makes sense for Elizabeth.

Hi Jane:
I was adopted in 1951 but born in 1947 to Daniel Edward Godfrey, Jr. of Williamstown, Massachusetts. I don't know if he is related to your family but am just curious as to my background. Does this sound familiar? Sincerely, Sara K.

Re: Godfreys of Williamstown, MA

OWEN2 — 2012-03-24 15:01:09Z

Some years ago I made an inquiry concerning a member of the Godfrey family. It was at the request of my close friend, Leonard Godfrey of Acton, Massachusetts. Leonard died just this year at the age of 91. I am not related to the Godfreys. Leonard's wife, Mary, is still living in Acton.

Re: Godfreys of Williamstown, MA

sarakawewehi — 2012-03-20 13:30:41Z

I think Daniel E. Godfrey, Jr. is my father. I was born 11/15/47 in Illinois and Daniel was married to Thelma Godfrey at that time. All I know is that he was in the Army and from Williamstown, Massachusetts. I would love to know ANYTHING if you think this is my father.

Re: Godfreys in Canada late 1700's - late 1800's

RaysGirl — 2012-03-15 22:17:36Z

Slow, very slow! LOL I want to take a research trip to Canada!

Check the 1861 census! Philip (the older one) and his wife Mary are living with their son John and the younger Philip is there too, but WHERE are his and the recently deceased Sarah's kids??? If I recall correctly, they had six! Sarah died in 1861 soon after the birth of Almina/Almira. Mary, the elder Philip's wife died a few years later. I did run across her date of death recently, but there was no documentation.

I've heard the elder Philip and his brother John (they do love to confuse us) were in Quebec at some point.

Hi Char,

I have not heard anything yet on the family reunion. How is the research coming along for you? I have been trying to figure out if Phillip Godfrey was living or working in Kingston in the early 1820's. His wife died before the 1851 census was done.

Just thought that I'd check in and see if you have heard of any upcoming GODFREY reunions in the Napanee area? I would love to attend one. Research is moving along slowly - finding tidbits of info here and there. Half the fun is in the search!

Obit of Mrs. James (Bridget Godfrey) Walsh 1912

lilmar1942 — 2012-01-10 03:13:34Z

From the Chatsworth Plaindealer
Chatsworth,Livingston,Illinois

MRS. BRIDGET WALSH
MARCH 1, 1912

Bridget Godfrey was born August 11, 1828, at Castle Dermot Kildare county, Ireland. At the age of eighteen she came to New York and resided on Staten Island, where she was married to James Walsh on February 14, 1848. In the fall of 1864 they came to Peoria county where they lived until moving to this vicinity in 1873. In 1892 they moved to the village of Chatsworth and there her life's partner for over sixty years passed to the Great Beyond on the 20th of December, 1909. Since then she has lived with her son, John, and daughter,
Mrs. Maggie Duffy, south of Chatsworth.
Five children survive her namely; Mrs. Maggie Duffy, John W. and Joseph P., of Chatsworth; Mrs. James Fitzmaurice, of Piper City; and Harry J., of Chicago. Three girls and one boy preceded her in death. She is also survived by seven grandchildren and one great grandchild.
"Grandma", as she was familiarly known, was beloved by all who knew her. She was a brave and patient sufferer for the last four months and God in his mercy and wisdom has called her to rest. Her memory will every live in the hearts of those she has left behind and their lives will be the better for the blessed privilege of having called her mother.
Those who attended the funeral from out of town were the following; Michael O'Neil, of El Paso; Wm. O'Neil, of Minneapolis; Edward and Bernard O'Neil, of Kentland, Ind.; Miss Fannie Power and Arthur render, of Peoria; Wm. Render, Wm. Fitzgerald and Mike Fitzgerald, of El Paso.
