sleep at Stump's 2.4.1805

Godwin took tea at Charlotte Smith DNB 1749-1806 at Tilford, Surrey then slept at Stump's so this was probably the name of an innkeeper or neighbour.

There was also a Thomas Stump & Mary in nearby Farnham and a Thomas Stump & Ann in nearby Godalming

Thomas Sturley married 9.11.1804 Mary Raven, who was baptised 4.10.1780 at Foulsham, dau. of Aldridge & Sarah Raven, so the sister of Philip Hull Godwin's wife. See my entries for Raven and for P H Godwin, brother of Godwin. Sturley may have been the main reason for Godwin's trip to Norfolk. He went bankrupt in 1810 as upholder & cabinetmaker of Swaffham.
