Codicil 1st
To avoid dispute and to explain the full and true meaning relating to the six children Mary Walker has by me and go by her name viz: the eldest William Walker was born at Darlington, Durham and baptised there by the name of William Walker son of Mary Walker. James Walker, Edward Walker, John Walker, Charlotte Walker and George Walker were born at Mile End Old, Stepney and baptised at home and registered by the name of Curling, children of George and Mary Curling. It is to be fully understood that I desire my Will to be truly and faithfully observed and that no advantage shall be taken of the above named children by their being registered in the Parish Books by my name and go by their mother’s.
dated 20 Apr 1782

Codicil 2nd
Mary Walker, my late servant having had another boy by me since the making my Will and Testament and has called him Daniel. I make him equal with the rest of her children and therefore he has one thousand Pounds given on the same terms and conditions as the rest of Mary Walker’s children. If Daniel Walker should die before he attains to the full age of twenty one years then the one thousand Pounds to be equally divided between George Curling, Dorothy Mordaunt and Mary Curling, my children. And it is my further will that Mary Walker be paid the full interest of her own and childrens money the first year after my decease over and above the one hundred Pounds which I meant for mourning for herself and family.

And I give and bequeath to each of my household servants five Pounds apiece mourning and the same to James Wilson, Gardener at West Hatch.

Dated 2 Feb. 1783

His will establishes that his son WIlliam (Walker) was born Darlington, Durham and this fits with the baptism of his son George and daughter Dorothy both at Stockton, Durham.
