Notes:

Three of his children also died at Sea.
Lower Albany Chronicle 20 March 1821 states that he had permission to return to England on the next available vessel. Did he go? It appears so, as the son Thomas Godfrey appears on the 1861,81,91 census records.

BUT, it is suggested that Celia Asenath Cock, born c 1825 was his daughter! see geni.com If so, who was her mother, and was she born in England or South Africa?
