BiographyWalker was born in 1837, at Bowlandstow, Midlothian, Scotland, the eldest son of Sir William Stuart Walker (KCB). He received his education at Trinity College, Glenalmond in Perthshire and then at Trinity College, Oxford. He graduated in 1861 and then completed a further MA degree.[1] Together with his brother, he emigrated to New Zealand and arrived in Lyttelton on board the Evening Star in January 1862.[1][2] The brothers then owned and ran a sheep farm at Mount Possession in South Canterbury.[1] When they bought the land, Walker was assigned some land in Riccarton. He later gave the land away, so that a settlement for working-class people could be established.[3] Walker married Margaret Wilson the daughter of Archdeacon James Wilson. They were to have five sons and one daughter.[1][2] {{NZ parlbox header|nolist=true|align=left}}{{NZ parlbox|start={{NZ election link year|1884}} |end=1887 |term=9th |electorate={{NZ electorate link|Ashburton}} |party=Independent politician }}{{NZ parlbox |start={{NZ election link year|1887}} |end=1890 |term=10th |electorate=Ashburton |party=Independent politician }}{{end}} Walker was the first chairman of the Ashburton County Council from 1877 until 1893.[1] He represented the Ashburton electorate on the Canterbury Provincial Council in the 5th and 7th Council (14 June 1866 – 27 September 1867; 8 April 1874 – 31 October 1876).{{sfn|Scholefield|1950|p=196}} Walker then represented the Ashburton electorate in Parliament from {{NZ election link year|1884}} to 1890, when he was defeated.{{sfn|Scholefield|1950|p=145}} He was appointed to the Legislative Council by the Liberal Government on 15 October 1892.
