In working on my research more today I came across different information about William that indicates that he may actually have been born earlier than I originally thought. It is possible that he might have been born in 1824, possibly making him the child of John Starkey and Ester Watterson. I'm desperately hoping that somebody might have information about that particular William Starkey (or any others born about that time) that would indicate whether he may have gone to Canada in approximately 1845? I would very much appreciate any information available. I would really like to be able to find something that would clearly link my great great grandfather William to the correct Starkey family on the Isle of Man. Thanks again. Nancy
