THE CYCLOPEDIA OF SOUTH AUSTRALIA
The details below are recorded on Page 497 & 498 of the
book - in the entry for Joseph Walker
" Joseph Walker, farmer of Redhill, was born at Norwood,
South Australia, in 1857. He is the second surviving son of
the late Mr. William Walker who left Lincoln, England for
South Australia, in 1848,voyaging by the ship "Katherine".
Mr. Joseph Walker was edsucated at Mr Dumas school at Mount
Barker and has followed agricultural pursuits from his
boyhood. As a lad of twelve he drove a plough for his late
father, on whose property his experience was chiefly gained,
and with whom he was associated until the death of the
latter. He then came into pocession of the estate, and has
resided there ever since, following a sucessful career. In
1900 Mr. Walker married Alice Edith, daughter of the late
Mr. Joseph Denson, of Narridy, and has one daughter."
Note: The Walkers came to
Australia in 1851 on the Catherine. CW May 2007
Death
The following inscription from the family bible of William
& Isabella Walker reads:
" Joseph Walker son of above (William Walker) died August
20th 1940 age 82 years".
I suspect this entry may have been recorded by Maurice Walker.

Joseph married Alice
Edith DENSON, daughter of Joseph DENSON and Unknown, on 8 Aug
1900 in Res of Joseph Denson Narridy dist Clare. (Alice Edith
DENSON was born in 1880, died on 19 Oct 1969 in Whyalla South
Australia and was buried in Redhill South Australia.)
Marriage Notes:
Note
The entry from the "Marriages" page of the family bible of
William and Isabella Walker reads:
"Joseph Walker& Alice Edith Denson was married at
Narridy August 8th 1900".
This appears to be the last marriage William Walker made
in the family bible - just 3 years before his death. CW May
