• Anecdote: There are no GODDENS recorded in the parish registers of Eastbourne before 1795 when Michael and Lucy were married.
• Anecdote*: The Sussex Family Historian (Dec. 1988 page 183) contained a list of paupers receiving parochial relief in the parish of Eastbourne from Lady Day 1831 to Lady Day 1832. Michael and Lucy were listed in this, aged 65 and 53 respectively, labourer of Meads, receiving 9 shillings per week and having received a total of 13 pounds 5 shillings and 6 pence for the period.

Lucy Verrall

Parents:

• Birth: Lucy Verrall was born in 1778 at Eastbourne, Sussex, England^B.
• Baptism*: Lucy Verrall was baptized on 18 October 1778 at St Mary's, Eastbourne, Sussex, England^B.¹
• She was the daughter of Samuel Verrall and Mary Wilkins.
• Anecdote*: The name VERRALL is common in Eastbourne going back to at about 1590. There are three possibilities for the baptism of Lucy Verral who married Michael Godden in Eastbourne:
  18 Oct 1778 daughter of Samuel and Mary.
  08 Aug 1779 daughter of Thomas and Sarah. (Considered to have married William Dyer in 1798 at Eastbourne.)
  10 Dec 1780 daughter of William and Ann. (Eliminated by identifying her as the person who married George Boniface - see below).
  There is also a fourth possibility in nearby Willingdon: 01 Aug 1779 daughter of Samuel and Elizabeth Verrall (nee Batcheller). This can be eliminated by identifying her as the person who married Richard Duly at Willingdon in 1800.
  The 1851 census gives Lucy Godden (nee Verrall)'s age as 72 years and her place of birth as Eastbourne which would be correct for the baptism to Samuel and Mary.
  Her burial on 3 Nov 1858 gives her age as 80 years which also supports this. She also named one of her children Samuel. Based on this, and because I believe the others can be eliminated by identifying who they married (see their individual pages), I therefore conclude that the Lucy Verral who married Michael Godden is the one baptised 18 Oct 1778 daughter of Samuel and Mary Verrall.
• Anecdote: One of the above Lucy Verrall's married a George Boniface (George Bonny on the marriage record), and one of her descendants (Pauline Mowbray) reports that there is a funeral card giving her date of birth as 1st November 1778. I believe that there is good evidence to suggest that this is wrong and should be 1 November 1780 and that her baptism was on 10 Dec 1780 daughter of William & Ann Verrall. The evidence being:
  1. Lucy named her first two children William and Ann. There are no William's on her husband's side of the family so this is a good indication of her father's name.
  2. Lucy's baptism on 10th Dec 1780 would be just over one month after her birth on 1 Nov 1780, a very typical occurrence.
  For this reason I have concluded that William & Ann Verrall are her parents, thus eliminating one of the possibilities above. However, a number of trees in Ancestry have the parents of Lucy Verrall, who married George Boniface, as Samuel Verrall and Elizabeth Batcheller (but none of Lucy's children were named Samuel which makes this doubtful).
