Research Notes:
To summary the evidence now in hand:
1. The name Godeheut was rare, and itself has been identified by Charles Fitch-Northen as a basis [in an Anglo-Norman setting] for deducing a Tony relationship [1].
2. William de St. John, of Basing, Hants. and West Shefford, Berks. (d. 1239), the husband of Godeheut, is contemporaneous with the issue of Roger de Tosny and Constance de Beaumont. Ralph de Tosny, of Flamstead, also died in 1239, and Roger d. in 1228.
3. Sir John de St. John (grandson of Godeheut) is identified by Douglas Richardson as 'cousin' of Edmund of Lancaster, specifically as ' son chier cousin mon sire Johan de Seint Johan '. [2]

4. As I noted on 3 August, there is no relationship between Edmund of Lancaster and Sir John de St. John that would account for this, except through the previously unknown ancestry of Sir John's grandmother Godeheut [3]. If Godeheut was a daughter of Constance de Beaumont, her grandson Sir John de St. John (d. bef 30 Sept 1302) would be a 4th cousin 1x removed from Edmund of Lancaster, a relationship that would have resulted in one party addressing the other as 'cousin' or 'kinsman' during the period.
5. The evidence found by Douglas Richardson in the Curia Regis Rolls which indicates that Godeheut de St. John (wife of William, and grandmother of Sir John) "took the veil and became a nun at the priory of St. Giles de Cella [aka St. Giles-in-the-Woods] at Flamstead, co. Hertford in or about 1243", and that "her son, Robert de Saint John, made a valuable gift of annual income to the priory for the health of the souls of his father, himself, and his mother, Godeheut" [4].
We then find Godeheut de St. John near the end of her life, in 1243, in a nunnery founded by Roger de Tony.
While we are short of the desired proof of the relationship, the circumstantial evidence presented in this thread establishes that Godeheut ( ) (Paynell) St. John should be identified as Godeheut de Tony, daughter of Roger de Tony and Constance de Beaumont.
