And here´s a short, minor addition on ...

godfreyi as in:
• the subspecies Bradypterus barratti godfreyi ROBERTS 1922 as "Caffrillas barratti godfreyi" (Note: OD unseen by me, simply trusting today's HBW Alive Key):

godfreyi
Revd. Dr R. Godfrey (1872-1948) Scottish physician, missionary to South Africa 1907-1946 (subsp. Bradypterus barratti).

= the Scotish physician and Presbyterian minister Dr. Robert Godfrey (1872–1948), missionary, naturalist, collector (of various Naturalia; birds, ants, scorpions etc.) and lexicographer (of the Xhosa lanuage) ... etc., etc.

Enjoy!

The Eponym Dictionary of Birds claims:

Barratt's Warbler ssp. Bradypterus barratti godfreyi J. A. Roberts, 1922
Dr R. Godfrey (1872–1948) was a Scottish physician and priest who was missionary to South Africa (1907–1946).

I place it only as I am wondering if he returned to Scottland and died there?
