• Notes

  BIOGRAPHY John Walker, the only son of Alexander Walker and Isabella Brough, was born in Milton in 1863. In 1890 he married Mary Muir Reid in Bacchus Marsh, Victoria, Australia. John gave his occupation as a merchant when he married. The 1890 electoral roll listed him as a storekeeper in Milton. John and Mary had their only child, James Keith Walker, in 1892 while living in Milton. The family later moved to Taranaki in the North Island, where according to electoral rolls, John worked as a clerk in Stratford (1893-1900) and a sawmill manager at Te Kiri (1905). From 1911 John and Mary lived at Mangare Bridge near Auckland, where they farmed a property called "Favona" (now a suburb between Mangere Bridge and Onehunga). They had retired to Onehunga by 1922. John died in Auckland Hospital in November 1927 and Mary died in 1946. John and Mary were buried in Auckland.
