Sarah Ann Starkey Fullelove 1844 - 1935
Sarah Ann Starkey Fullelove appears was born 2 years before her parents marriage and when Sarah was only 17. There is no indication that she is actually Thomas's daughter. Additionally her baptismal record has very confusing information on it, specifically "Sarah Ann Starkey Born Apr 7 1844 Baptised July 23rd Parents William Mansfield & Ann ." with the note under surname "the father Mansfield proving a married man". The fathers occupation is also "Joiner". Interestingly the names and occupation on this baptism are Sarah's parents, this means there are a few potential options:
- Sarah Ann Starkey is actually Sarah Starkey Mansfields sister and Sarah and Thomas adopt her and raise her as their own, this could explain why there are no Fulleloves appearing on DNA testing. NB Sarah's Mother Ann would have only been 35 at the time.
- Sarah Starkey Mansfield has an affair with a married man of the name William Mansfield who is a joiner like her father - when she is aged 17.
- Sarah Starkey Mansfield intentionally uses erroneous information on the baptism and the parentage is unknow.
