England / Stephen WALKER (c1771-1833)

This chap is one of my major brick walls!
The first mention of him that I have found is when he and his wife Elizabeth have a child baptised in St Nicholas, Deptford in 1805. In the same year he appears on the Taxation lists as a tenant in Stowage, Deptford. They have a total of 6 children baptised in Deptford: some in St Nicholas and some in St Paul.
There is a possible earlier child, John, who takes over the tenancy of the property in Stowage when Stephen dies in 1833.
So I am looking for his marriage, prior to 1805, to identify his wife's surname and for his birth/baptism around 1771 (calculated from his burial record).
I would be very grateful for any assistance.
Best wishes,
Gerry
