 Transform [] t = GameObject.Find("obj1").GetComponentsInChildren<Transform>();
 
 Transform theParent = t[0];
 Transform firstChild = t[1];

This should work.

As a single line:

 Transform firstChild = GameObject.Find("obj1").transform.GetChild(0);

You could write this simply in one line

 Transform child = GetComponentInChildren<Transform>();

@Ash-Blue is incorrect, but his confusion is understandable. Although the name doesn't make this clear, if you call componentInstance.GetComponentInChildren it will return the Transform of componentInstance – not the Transform of the first child!

If you want the first child of a Transform, then transformInstance.GetChild(0) is what you should use.

 Transform firstChild = GameObject.Find("obj1").transform.GetChild(0);

This is the answer ThinkyHead_ gave in a comment but I'm putting it in a proper answer, because I don't want people to miss it.

This is super old, but the question was how to get the first GameObject, so the right answer should be GameObject first = gameObject.transform.GetChild(0).gameObject;
