Notes for Catherine Anne Godfrey
m. (1) Charles Hendy, (2) Arthur Stopford.
Her first marriage looks like:
Surname First name(s) District Vol Page
Marriages Mar 1857 (>99%)
Godfrey Catherine Anne Islington 1b 231
Hendy Charles William Islington 1b 231
Which is confirmed by Burke.
But this early marriage does not tie up with the 1871 census, below.
Her daughter of her first marriage was given in 1881 as Elanor C Hendy, born c. 1865 in Kensington, London. Her birth cannot be found on FreeBMD for any Hendy born anywhere in England and Wales between 1864 and 1867.

This looks like her in 1871, though her husband has dropped the Charles forename:

There are 7 deaths of William Hendy on FreeBMD between 1871 and 1872, one of Charles William aged 0 and one of Charles in Somerset aged 44. The William aged 34 who died in Bristol in Q3 of 1871 is a possibility but not certain.
__________________
No evidence can be found for Burke’s report that she died in 1915, when should would have been 90 odd. Nor was there any marriage of a Hendy or a Stopford after 1895.
I am thinking that I should delete her death date.
