Assume you are referring to these records which refer to him as a gunner from the Royal Artillery:
Newfoundland Vital Statistics
Volume 30A
Marriages
Part 1
1830 - 1870
St. Thomas Anglican Church,
St John's, Nfld
July 4 1849 St Johns
Alexander WALKER, widower, Gnr RA, of St Johns, married Jane ALLAN, spinster, of St Johns; witnesses: Philip Mitchell, Maria Allan
And baptisms for:
John, son of Alexander & Margaret, 5 March 1846, born 22 January 1846
Sarah Jane, daughter of Alexander & Jane (Allan), baptized 16 June 1850, born 18 April 1850
1861 English Census
Woolwich, Kent
Walker, Alexander, Head, married, aged 42, pensioner from Royal Artillery, b. Ireland
Walker, Jane, Wife, married, aged 29, b. St. John's, Newfoundland
Walker, John, Son, aged 9, scholar, b. Deven Deveonport
Walker, Ellen, Daughter, aged 7, scholar, b. Devon Stonehouse
Walker, Sarah, Daughter, aged 1, b. Hants Aldershott
Well, it sure looks like the same family, but the kids' birthdates are incorrect, or Sarah, aged 1, is a daughter who was named after the one born in 1850 who passed away. John's age doesn't make sense.
Do you have baptisms for any of the children named in the 1861 census from England (specifically the youngest) which may give Sarah's maiden name.
