Thomas Walker was at 8 Oxford Market in 1811 (watch and clock maker) - London and Country Directory, 1811

It would be nice to be able to make a decision about this baptism one way or the other:
Baptism date 13 Mar 1797 at Minster in Sheppey, Kent James Thomas Walker the son of Thomas and Elizabeth There's a James Walker on the 1851 census who says he was born in Minster and aged 54 He has his 52-year-old unmarried sister Sarah living with him, also born in Minster, but I've not been able to match her up with a baptism (at Minster in Sheppey or Minster in Thanet) to try and work out if her brother is the one who originally had two forenames and therefore definitely not your James Thomas. I don't think images for Minster in Sheppey baptisms are available anywhere online.

There are a lot of baptisms for children of Thomas and Sarah in Marylebone, but I think there may be more than one couple as there would need to be quite a few deaths before Thomas's death in order for there to be only three beneficiaries and I've only found a couple.

I do think it likely Thomas arrived in Marylebone after the birth of James Thomas.

Info on Marylebone baps, parents Thomas and Sarah 1795-1833

Mason...164 Oxf'd St. 07 Mar 1825 Haberdasher 19 Jun 1827 Four children of the haberdasher, b 1821, 23, 25 and 27. Three of them had been baptised previously - Frederick 1821, Alfred 1823 and Margaret Mason 1825 (matching dates of birth recorded). The extra child was Amelia b 1827. After this, Thomas the Haberdasher became a draper (still living in Oxford St) and had two more children (Maria and Hester) born and baptised after 1827. I didn't look after 1833 as your Thomas died in 1832. So, all the children born 1821 and after belong to the haberdasher and his wife. However, they were married 22 April 1811 (Sarah was Sarah Mason) at Marylebone, so those children born 1811 to 1819 could belong to them or could belong to your Thomas and Sarah! So, the next step must be to look for burials for the following as they were not in your Thomas's will - any that lived and were born after 1811 might belong to the other couple: John b 1807 buried 6 Jan 1813 Marylebone. Age not given but says child. Eliza b 1812 buried 6 Jul 1813 Marylebone. Child. John b 1814 buried 17 Aug 1830 Marylebone aged 17. Address Oxford Street so might possibly be the other family. However there are a couple of other possible burials for children named John in 1815 and 1821. Thomas b 1815 buried 7 Apr 1822 Marylebone. Child. Sarah b 1816 buried 24 Oct 1819 Marylebone. Child. Charles b 1819 Three possible burials 1822 1824 and 1827 Marylebone, all children. So, impossible to tell who most of these children belonged to as it's very likely they all died. John b 1807 is probably the son of your Thomas as he was born before 1811. I suppose there's a chance the second John is another sibling as he was born soon after the first John died.

The 'other' Thomas and Sarah wee living at 17 Old Quebec St Marylebone in 1841and 1851 with some of their younger children.
I looked at burials for your Sarah Walker between the birth of her son William and the death of her husband in Marylebone but none of them were an obvious fit as none of them had an address I recognised.

I note that Thomas Walker made a codicil to his will replacing his son, William, as executor. The new executor was George Munday also of 17 Castle Street.
I did wonder if George Munday was the head of the other family living at that address in the 1831 Marylebone census, but it looks fairly unlikely as I can't see him being described as a labourer (non agricultural). George was George Mitchell Munday bap 1795 in Finsbury, d 1873 Marylebone. He married in 1831 (I think after the census) and was at Castle St when his first child was baptised in 1832. After that he lived at 6 Great Portland St Marylebone for the rest of his life and was described variously as a jeweller and/or silversmith, so not a labourer.
