The R Godley is Richard, he's a brother of James & Elizabeth born 1846 died 1933 and buried in Pyecombe. He was at the Plough Inn for 30 years or so, married Charlotte Newman and had two children Annie and George. There's several good photos of the pub around whilst he was the landlord, especially when they did a recreation of a coach run from London to Brighton during which there is a crowd outside the pub and presumably one of them is Richard and possibly some of the others are there family too.
I've found Ether Godley (Heasman) living at the Cherry Tree public house in Hornchurch Essex in 1881, and after that she seems to be at 'Ward 5', Winnipeg, Manitoba in 1891 and 1901. In 1911 she is at 431 Vickers (something), Winnipeg and she dies 4th Aug 1933 again in Winnipeg. I don't have access to the Canadian/American records other than what's free on the web so research over there is difficult and hard to confirm. Her husband is Thomas Heasman and her children are Alice (Drysden), William, Ann Elizabeth and Thomas Henry.
Also interesting as a Godley public house is the Royal George in Burgess Hill (was St Johns common in Clayton parish). When the Godleys first lived at Friars Oak Burgess Hill wasn't really there. It had originally been waste or common land in the parishes of Clayton, Keymer and Wivelsfield but they had decided to divide the land up under the enclosures act and give a piece to everyone who had a right to graze or whatever and/or sell the rest. The Keymer bit had already happened and that was the start of Burgess Hill to the east of the London Rd. Whilst George was at the Friars Oak they decided to do the same for the Clayton side and the hearings to divide it up were held in his pub. He bought a parcel of land on the London Rd and built himself a new pub on it which he called the Royal George. That's when his son Henry took over running the Friars Oak and most of the rest of the family moved to St Johns in Clayton or Burgess Hill as it was to become. They were a well known local family and crop up in newspapers of the time for various things especially taking part in sporting events. The Royal George was demolished in 2001 although the road where it stood is still called Royal George Rd. I've only got one photo of it from just before it was knocked down. One day when I get time I'm planning to call into the West Sussex records office and see if they kept any plans.
