Children of Samuel and Rose Dorling

(Parentage of the following children based on IGI entries at baptism)

Samuel Dorling
Birth: 1806 (Christening date 24 Feb 1806 at West Stow, Suffolk)
Death: 1806 (Burial: 1806 March 16th Samuel Dorling (infant)).
William Dorling
Birth: abt 1807 (Christening date Feb 8th 1807 at West Stow, Suffolk)
Marriage: Susan Mingay 1837 Oct 20th (Register: Dec 1837 Thingoe 13 1073)
Children: Emma born 1840 & baptised 9th April in West Stow and Anne born 1845 (Register: Dec 1845 Thingoe 13 467) and baptised 2nd December in West Stow. Both these baptisms give the name of the mother as "Sar"
There was also a girl baptised on 5th Aug 1838, the daughter of William and "Sar" in West Stow, who was buried at the age of 2 on 5th January 1840.
I have spent some time puzzling over the possibility that I have named the wrong Mingay as William`s wife.   The scarcity of Census entries has not helped.  But I am left with the possibility that the multiplicity of Mingays led to an error in the parish register.
William appears in Census return for Rose in 1851 as a widower.
