Do you want further info or are you happy to progress yourself?
There's a lot out there re Frederick Snr and Ann, his wife. For example, they married after the birth of Mary Ann Emma - who was not born a Godfrey.
If you happy to progress yourself please advise."dyfal donc a dyr y garreg"

helachau I struggle with UK research, and I like to try and find some proof to record. I have found their marriage on Freebdm June 1845. Couldnt find Mary's birth, but prob no wonder if she is pre-marriage, which would fit with her given age on the migration to SA. Have plenty of info once they lived in NSW Australia. There are so many spelling issues as well.. So be happy if you can elaborate on Mary's birth.

You can view the 11 May 1845 marriage certificate on Familysearch (image no 312) - free but need to register.
The General Register Office (GRO) has the birth registration of Frederick Robert Godfrey, Mar Qtr 1846, St George Hanover Square, vol 01 page 19 - mother's maiden name Humphreys (with an "s"). This fits the Census entry at post #10.
The 1851 Census has Anne Godfrey, age 11, born "High Wycomb(e)". The GRO has the birth registration of Mary Ann Emma Humphrey (no "s"), Dec Qtr 1839, The Wycombe Union, vol 6 page 420 - there is no mother's maiden name which is often the sign of an illegitimate birth. There is also the birth registration of a Mary Ann Humphrey , Sep Qtr 1838, The Wycombe Union - mother's maiden name Paine. Think we are pretty safe with going with Dec Qtr 1839 birth!
The 1845 marriage cert includes details of bride and groom's fathers - although both deceased.
Details of Frederick's birth/baptism to follow.

Grateful thanks Helachau. I gather Wycombe Union is a workhouse. I think Mary had a better life in Australia or at least once her step father was off the scene (just spent an hour copying a very brief summary of offences (vagrancy, drink and petty theft) he committed over a 10 year period!) Anne was living with Frederick Jnr in 1891. Have good weekend.

FindMyPast Burials (transcript only)
Robert Godfrey, age 48, buried 29 July 1836, Church of St Mary, Bathwick
Bath Chronicle & Weekly Gazette, 4 Aug 1836
To the CHARITABLE and HUMANE
Ann Godfrey and her four fatherless children, residing at No. 6, St. Michael's Court, Walcot Street, most earnestly solicit the attention of the benevolent to the following distressing case:- Her late husband, Robert Godfrey, tailor, for many years in the employ of Messrs Tremlett and Lea, left home on Saturday morning the 23rd of July, with the intention, she thought, of going to work; he was missing from that time to the 28th, when his body was found near the Suspension Bridge, Walcot. Thus have the humble petitioners been deprived of their only support, and are therefore most reluctantly compelled to throw themselves on the generosity of the charitable and benevolent.
The smallest donation will be most thankfully received at Mr TREMLETT's, 20 Union Street, at the Office of this paper, and at the Libraries."dyfal donc a dyr y garreg"

Goodness me I wake up to such marvellous sleuthing. What an absolute tragic family! Marvel at the resilience to continue too. Thank you so much for your help.
