Hi Maydot,
On the 1861 census is the following living at Ibstock Fields, Ibstock, Leiceshire.
Benjamin, head born abt. 1801 in Packington, Leicshire. Occupation: Nursery man.
Elenor, wife born abt. 1803 in Ibstock.
Sorce info: RG9/2265. Folio 50. Page 9.

Have not been able to find a record of their marriage though.
Trust these are the right people.

Hi Spike.
Thank you for your answer to my Walker query.They may be the same family but I have a tombstone of his wife Anne Walker who died at Cottage Farm.They moved from there to Odstone.
Leicestershire in 1800.
Thank you

Hi Maylot,
Shame I thought I was onto some thing but the year of birth is to far out. But just incase on the 1861 census the following family was living at Ivenhoe Place, Ashby De La Zouch, Leics.
Ann Walker nee Foster born abt. 1794 in Ibstock.
Elizabeth, daughter born abt. 1837 in Ashby De La Zouch, Leiceshire.
Jane Foster,. sister born abt. 1796 in Ibstock.
Also a Benjamin Walker died in the March 1/4 1858 in Ashby De La Zouch.
Ashby De La Zouch is close to the other villages/hamlets that you have mentioned.
Regards
Spike
Benjamin Walker married Ann Rose 29th October 1823 in Ibstock.Witnesses were John Elston and Jane Rose. No parents stated. This is a transcript from the Parish Register. I'll see what else I can Find for you.
The only baptism for an Ann Rose in Ibstock is 22 January 1792, father William Wilson Rose mother Elizabeth.
Also Mathew 19 april 1789 (bap)
John Oct 1790 (Bap)
Elizabeth 13 August 1797 (burial)
The gaps in the dates suggest they may have moved about.
benjamin Walker Packington. Bap 3rd Oct 1803 parents James @ Ann Walker.
