[John Bond]
Age: 33
Estimated birth year: abt 1802
Date of Trial: 26 Mar 1835
Trial Year: 1835
Location of Trial: Warwickshire, England
Sentence: Acquittal
Crime: Sheep stealing
So, Amos etc may well have been Walker at birth after all, with a change to Band in between
But they were certainly a Warwickshire family at least as far back as 1801

HI Ellen,
I have a Walker branch but I don't think the right one for your friend.
I have John walker Father to Amos Walker b 1831
Amos Walker father to William Walker b 1854
William Walker father to William Walker b 1881
They were all weavers at Courtaulds in Fosehill Coventry.
I know they were from "up north" but haven't got back there yet.
Sorry not the ones you want but only really getting this side of my family sorted

The 1841 census rounds down adult ages to the nearest 5 years, so if his age is given as 40 he could be anything from 40 to 44 years old which would mean the christening found by Rose above could quite possibly be him.

How old was he when he died? Age at death should give a clearer idea of birth year
