Godfrey Goodman's date of birth is unknown, but is estimated at about 1530. Godfrey Goodman married on 28 February, 1575/6, at the church of St. Mary lé Bow in London, Jane Croxton, the third daughter of Simon and Katherine Croxton of London. She was about 18 at the time, so was probably born about 1557/8.
Their issue were: Gabriel, Godfrey, Charles, Mary, Martha, Catherine, Susan and Jane. Godfrey died in 1587.
The will of Godfrey Goodman, Senior was proved 5 March, 1587. (14 Spencer, Prerogative Court of Canterbury). Jane Croxton's sisters were Katherine and Ann. After Godfrey's death, Jane Croxton Goodman became the fourth wife of Edward Thelwell, who is also mentioned in Godfrey's will, and was probably a cousin by marriage, son of one of his mother's Thelwell relatives.
