So, thanks again, Wivenhoe.

Margaret Ellen Maria Bradfield & Emily Bradfield (whose marriages you found) are both daughters of Rachel Bradfield née Cooper born in 1785 in Ascott-under-Wychwood, Oxfordshire. I'm descended from her younger brother William.
My DNA matches who descend from this "Alfred Johnson" match known descendants of the Cooper family.
Now I'm really starting to wonder if Alfred Bradfield baptised in 1812 in Henley, Oxfordshire is in fact the same as Alfred Johnson, who started a new life with a second wife.
I need to look through all the records again to try to compile a chronology, but that's definitely the assumption I'm working on at the moment.
 

Well I was just wondering that

It's really messed with my brain, so I've decided to leave it for a while and come back again when more people have taken DNA tests and things could be a bit clearer.

Have I understood correctly that you have matches descended from FIVE of John Lucas's siblings? So it doesn't matter if ONE of those siblings married a Stringer.

I’m quite new to the DNA aspect of genealogy and I’m hoping someone can please spare a minute to check if I’m interpreting the following correctly or not.

I have an Ancestry match that I share 1069cm with and that number is exactly the same as our unweighted shared, 1069cm. This is across 34 segments, the longest of which is 114cm. Ancestry says we are 96% likely to be first cousins and DNA Painter ups that to 99%. I’m not aware of any endogamy in the 5 or 6 generations before me on my largely complete tree. And other possible relationships that would give these numbers are discounted by known aspects of my family history and the relative ages of family members.

Am I missing something, or are my match and me almost certainly descended from full siblings?

What's making you think you might not be full first cousins? Their tree?
I think the likelihood you're full first cousins is extremely high, but it could be other relationships depending on your age difference.

It's one of those where I really can't justify the cost of the certificate.

But you can justify wasting people's time?

I really don't see how I'm wasting people's time. I made it clear in my first message what I was interested in. Why are you being so aggressive?
