The Walker Family
Origins ...
Discovering that the Walkers came from Norfolk was quite a surprise!
They are unique in my family as they are the only ancestral line which
was not drawn to the North East by the burgeoning demands of the
industrial revolution - at least not directly.
It's likely that Robert Walker, my Great Great Grandfather, was a
contract gardener who travelled to the North East to cater to the
whims of the newly wealthy industrialists many of whom either built
anew or purchased and refurbished country homes in rural Co. Durham
and Northumberland.
