WALKER (ROBERT), bookseller in London, 1597-9; (1) Near the Golden Lion in the Old Bailey; (2) The Talbot, in Paternoster Row. Son of the Revd. John Walker of Denham, Suffolk. Apprentice to Thomas Man { MAN, Thomas ( - 1625) ‹ LBT 07630 › }, stationer of London, for eight years from September 29th, 1589. Robert Walker took up his freedom in the Company on October 29th, 1597, and made his first entry in the Registers on November 14th in the same year [Arber; ii. 167, 720; iii. 96). He was associated with Toby Cooke { COOKE, Toby ( - 1599) ‹ LBT 07620 › } in publishing some of the Rev. George Gifford's sermons, but they assigned their rights to Thomas Man in the following year, and nothing more is heard of Robert Walker [Arber, iii. 129, 148).
