I know it's a common name, but posting in case:

John Walker
in the West Yorkshire, England, Prison Records, 1801-1914
Name: John Walker
Birth Year: abt 1837
Birth Place: Wigan
Age: 60
Event Date: 16 Aug 1897
Prison or Quarter Session: HMP Wakefield
Location: Wakefield, West Yorkshire, England

Sentence: Other [ 14 days hard labour or pay, 22/6; 14 days hard labour or pay, 236 ] for being drunk.

Transferred from Preston 20.08.1897.
Discharged from Wakefield Prison 12 Sept 1897.

That one was a Labourer at the time of his sentence

FMP alerts me to the fact that I've accessed the 1871 census record before.

Another thread???

Possible death posted on there, but dismissed/ignored/not seen by OP

Jennifer -

on your other thread you said you had already researched all the info given there.

Does that mean you had bought a copy of the 1872 death to check the details, ?

I would have thought it unlikely that the death shown for Elizabeth Walker on the other thread is the correct one.

Lancsbmd gives the sub-district as Broughton whereas they were living in 1871 in central Preston so I would have thought not in the Broughton area workhouse

It's also possible that John wasn't actually a widower when he re-married.
