The two north Staffordshire holdings attributed to the name Aki are too small and too isolated for identification with the housecarl Aki the Dane (Aki 4) or the Lincolnshire thegn Aki son of Siward (Aki 6) or the Worcestershire thegn Aki 8 to be at all likely. Oakley and Walton, however, were only 6 miles apart in the poor uplands of Staffordshire, Oakley on the upper river Tern where it forms part of the boundary with Shropshire, Walton on high land to the east. DB notes that Aki had given 1 carucate of land at Walton (in a vill of 3 hides with land for 6 ploughs) to his sister, whom it does not name.
