Please may I ask anyone with access to trade directories to see if they can do a look-up to establish the trade/occupation of John Walker In 1826/1827/1828 he was shown in the rate books at number 91 High Holborn London In 1830 he was shown in the rate books at number 90 High Holborn London Michael

In 1821 a Richard Walker was listed as a stationer and bookseller at 90 High Holborn. (Robson's, 1821). In 1833 a Jos. Walker was an upholsterer at 109 High Holborn. (Critchett's, 1833). In 1838 a surgeon was at 90 High Holborn, a coffee room at 91, and a Jos. Walker was an upholsterer at 108 and 109 High Holborn. (Robson's, 1838). (I don't know whether there was any re-numbering during that time.) I hope this small contribution helps.
