His wife wrote under the non-de-plume of Rene Scudamore for International News Service, doing "fashions from Paris and publicity for Elizabeth Arden and Kreuger “the late match king” ". Kreuger was a major businessman with many interests, including companies making wooden matches. He was also apparently a bit of a financial manipulator, and his empire collapsed in the Depression. He has been referred to as "the Leonardo of Larcenists."
Godfrey exhibited work with the Island Arts and Crafts Society in 1941.
He was on a list titled "Leading Vancouver Artists," provided to the Labour Arts Guild on April 10, 1946 by the Vancouver Art Gallery to assist in the Guild's call for entries to the third annual B.C. At Work exhibition.
He exhibited in the 1948 Annual Exhibition of the Atelier Sketch Club. He was listed as a Guest in the exhibition catalogue.
He exhibited artwork in the B.C. Artists' exhibitions at the Vancouver Art Gallery from 1936 to 1950.
B.C. Vital Statistics on-line gives no information on Godfrey.
A 1957 news clipping notes that "Mr. and Mrs. Marcel Godfrey, formerly of this city, who have been residing in England for several years ..." (continues) were visiting Vancouver, Victoria, and the Okanagan and would return home to England afterwards.
