History
James Godfrey was born in Ireland in 1824 and likely came to Canada in, or around, 1841. He moved to Kingston in 1884, taking up residence at Napier Cottage. He owned and lived in a number of houses in Kingston, including 156 Bagot Street and 216 Gordon Street. James Godfrey was a clerk in holy orders of the Church of England. He was ordained deacon in 1851 by Bishop Strachan. In 1878 he was living in the community of Marysville on Wolfe Island, probably as the rector of the Church of England there.
Godfrey's wife, Sara, died on July 12, 1874. They had four children: Elizabeth Eleanor (b. July 20, 1856 - d. January 14, 1883); William (b. May 19, 1858); Frances Henrietta (b.May 28, 1860); and Josiah James (b.May 13, 1863-d. 1907)
