Hi Kevin and list Your Geo Walker should be in the Upper Canada Petition and Land Books available on micrfilm from the Ontario and Canadian Archives In my Index for these same Land books I have a Geo Walker Soldier, Township not given Date 05 July 1832, Land Book P Page 229 Petition W55. These petitions often have revealing family stuff . Also since Hunter gives a lot and concession number in Medonte one can check the property/lot abstract for that particular lot to see just how the property changed hands .Andrew F Hunter is the Author of "A History of Simcoe County" The original work dates from 1910 or so and the book has been reprinted in 1998 by Mackinaw Productions, 65 Beatrice St West Oshawa Ontario L1G3M7 . Of course there is no guarantee this is your George but I would certainly follow these leads to prove or eliminate this soldier as your family. I searched the 1851 census and found no family fitting the description you have so well provided. I guess they all went fishing on enumeration day!! Cheers Rob McGinn

Hi Rob Thanks for the reprint details. You've probably seen my reply to Dave Milsom by now. I'm certain we all have the same George WALKER, as we all have the same wife and first child. I'm keen to learn where or how a birth date of 21 Dec 1801 arose. Like you say, it may have been stated in Land or Military documents. It varies from the copies of the West Lydford parish records (the parish George was born, baptised, and married in) I have. Happy to share them as jpeg or pdf files with any other researcher.
