Stirnet's "Godolphin1" page does not mention this Margaret. FamilySearch (AFN below) indicates that she is a daughter of either Capt. Thomas Godolphin by Catherine Bonithon/Bonython, or Capt. Thomas' elder brother Sir William by Blanch Langdon/Langden; the provided dates support both possibilities. In the same generation, Stirnet's "Godolphin1" page mentions a William Godolphin that married a Sir Robert Verney (!); since FamilySearch shows that this Margaret also married a Sir Robert Verney, this Margaret is probably the William mentioned at "Godolphin1".
