Notes for WILLIAM STARLING:
Presume this was the William Starling "of Stopplesy Hall", based on
elimination of the Lord Mayor, Sir Samuel Starling, who had no surviving
children according to the diary of Samuel Pepys.
The Stopplesy Hall reference is from "A Genealogy and Family Memorial".
From "History Of Bedfordshire" by Joyce Godber.
"Samuel Starling came from the Luton hamlet of Stopsley. He became a
wealthy London brewer and was master of the Brewer's Company in 1661.
Perhaps his early years were a struggle, for Pepys thought him
ungenerous. After the great fire, when his house was saved, he did give
two shillings and six pence among thirty of them, and did quarrel with
some that would remove rubbish out of the way of the fire, saying that
they came to steal. In 1669 he became Lord Mayor of London, but in the
gloomy conditions of the time there was little pagentry for his show."
