Find Ancestors

I am searching for relatives of Joseph Matley Walker who was born in Ashton Under Lyne, Manchester in 1813. His parents were John Walker and Mary Matley. Joseph married Margaret Stoward in Manchester in 1834. The emigrated to Victoria in Australia, aboard the Frankfield, in 1841. Three of their six children were born in Ashton under Lyne - Margaret Stoward Walker (1833), Elizabeth (1837) Mary (1840). Three more children were born in Melbourne - John (1840), Joseph Henry (1845) and Mary Jane Clough Walker (1849). Joseph Matley died in Eaglehawk, Victoria in 1895, aged 82 and Margaret died in Timor, Victoria in 1909, aged 101.
Would like to hear from anyone who can tell me more about this family of Walkers

Are you wanting info about family in Australia OR England ?

I am descended from Joseph Henry Walker, living in Australia. I would be happy to information for both Australia and England

Julie,
Thanks for all this wonderful information on the Sharmans..
My Joseph Henry Walker married Esther Ann Russell in Ballarat on 7 November 1868.
Do you know anything of these Walkers, who lived in the Inglewood and Dunolly areas. I am really struggling to find out anything about them.

Saw the marriage of Joseph to Esther in 1868 but ruled it out as it stated that Joseph was born in Manchester !!!

In your posting you said that he was born in Melbourne.

Will see what I can find.

I have verified with a baptism certificate that the Joseph Henry Walker I am looking for was born in Melbourne in 1845.
