(Note: There was also one Thomas de Courtenay entry, which didn't say son of Hugh, that I didn't include for Thomas, as it could possibly be Hugh's brother)

Godlington is an obvious error as it was in Bedfordshire near Newenham Abbey. I think the place he was from should have been Goodrington named by Richardson.
Thank you for noting this.
