While I don't think our Osborne lineage is closely related, I can help with the Godolphin line a little. In the early 1700's the Godolphins in the UK were closely tied to the crown due to the fact that one Francis, 2nd Earl of Godolphin married Henrietta Churchill, Duchess of Marlborough. She was the daughter of John Churchill a hero of the War of Spanish Succession.The male Godolphin line died out so the title could have passed to an Osborne.I would suggest checking at the following web site which is a free royal genealogical database.
