Sampson WALKERDEN  - born ???? in MALPAS (derbyshire??!!)
Married Hannah COOPER 28 Aug. 1821.

If anyone has acess to any records that might give me more information on this person or his family, would be very grateful. Or, if anyone else is researching the same family.

This can't be the same person but in view of the coincidence of names thought I'd mention it
1851
24 South? Borough Walk, Derby St Peter, Derbyshire
William Walkerden Head M 49 Labourer Staffordshire Radford
Harriet Wife M 41                                      " Blithfold
Elizabeth daur 14 Factory Girl " Uttoxeter
William Son 12 Factory Boy    " "
Sampson Son 10                    " "
George Son 9                        " "
John Son 5                              " "
Ann daur 3                            " "
Mary daur 9 months    Derby
HO107/2143 Derby St Peter Folio 38 Page 16

There are very few other Walkerdens in the whole country in fact the only other two are

Thomas, 25 Servant in the household of Francis (farmer) and Elizabeth Harvey, living Lee Lane, Colton, Staffordshire.  He was born Staffordshire Blithfield

Living 11 Ladbroke Terrace, St Mary Abbott, Kensington, Middlesex
Letitia C Walkerden Unmarried Servant 50 years old, Housekeeper born Derby All Saints and working for Richard H Kennedy (Retired Physician General) and his wife Isabel and children.

Hope this is of some help.

PS Malpas is in Cheshire, as I suppose you worked out since you posted on that board.

Mary,
thanks so much for responding to my friends Walkerden query.
I have passed it on to her and am sure it will be of help.  You are correct in that had realised that Malpas was NOT in Derby, hence my listing on Cheshire site.
Thanks again.  Carol...

This guy is living alone in 1851 - another one to keep on file!

HO107/2143/562/10 - Langer St Court, St Werburgh, Derby

Sampson Walkerdine  Head  Wid  85  Retired plater  Newton, Staffordshire

(Name could also be read as Walkendine, but first name is an interesting coincidence.)

In 1851, there are several families in Staffordshire with spelling Walkeden, including 4 Sampsons, but none married to a Hannah.
