No I hadnt looked at anything other than the one you found on 1880 census Renes,I was too tired and Jaded from the day before.Takes longer to recover when you are not a teenager anymore.
The marriage is a good possibility although I will have to point out that on the census of 1880 that you found it says John Godfrey was born in NY and his parents were born in Ireland.
It also says Mary was born in NY also and her Father born Canada and her mother in NY.
But I am certainly not dismissing it.

Nora had 2 boys (father unknown) before having Ruby and Barbara,and was made to leave the family home after the 2nd,and she then had the boys "adopted" out(names not known to me) and only uncovered about them after Nora was dead.
It is believed that she may have met Henry anytime between 1916 and 1928 !
She ended up in Pancras area of London,thats all I know.
Anything is possible with this family.
One of them must surely have been married elsewhere I say ,or why not get married..?
Sparky tells me so much in the trying to find his grandads birth that I get lost,so if this looks like waffle,sorry.
She used the name Harding as her maiden name to reg the girls as Henry was dead and she wanted them registered as Harding and not Hunt.
Thats what he tells me.
He is searching for all his documents again now,but they have been tidied away by partner when he was in hosp,and cant be found.He is hopping mad at her so I shant bother him again about them for a while..
