John Angus Walmisley

John Angus Walmisley was the youngest son of William Walmisley (1745-189) who had been clerk of papers to the House of Lords. He retired to the market town of Bromley, Kent, where his daughter Mary had married a pharmacist named Baxter. His five sons were choristers at Westminster School, a prestigious institution within the precincts of the abbey.

John Angus Walmisley became a parliamentary clerk and was an official at the coronations of George IV (1821) ...

In 1830 and 1831 he was living at Smith Square, St Margaret, Westminster (according to the rate book). Coincidentally (or not) a William George Lambert is also living in the same place (a few houses away) although where John has a house, William has a slaughterhouse. And John is living next to a Charles Wilkes Churchill.

By 1832 his house is counted as in North Street (although it is in exactly the same place in the list).
