Lucy Jane Godfrey-Faussett

Lucy was the daughter of Henry Woodcock, of Wigan, Lancashire. There were 7 more children, the youngest in the 1881 census being listed as a daughter of one years age when the family was living in Bolnore House, Cuckfield, Sussex. By then Lucy was married to  Thomas  Godfrey Godfrey-Faussett (1829 –1877). Lucy's birthdate isn't listed anywhere I have yet found but I think she may have been considerably younger than Thomas. They married in 1964 and had one son, Edward Godfrey, in 1866. Thomas' father was the Reverend Godfrey Faussett, Lady Margaret Professor of Divinity at Oxford. The landlord of Ivy House, as well as a number of other land holdings, is listed with the one word "Margaret" in 1905. Lucy is listed as living in Cuckfield, Sussex. Must be a tie-up there somewhere.  By 1920, when Lucy wrote enquiring after Ridley's welfare and location, she would have been in her 70's.  Her family is listed in Burke's Peerage as claiming Plantagenet descent from Isabella Neville , Duchess of Clarence, 1451. On both her father's and her husband's side the families have been in the military, clerics and gaining income from land - minor aristocracy.
