|
At the time of Griffith's Valuation George Walker held lands in the parishes of Castlelyons, Knockmourne, Lismore and Mocollop, baronies of Condons and Clangibbon and Barrymore, county Cork. The Walker estate comprised of 4,140 acres in the city of Cork, town of Fermoy and county of Cork, held in fee simple, was advertised for sale in December 1859 with a further 140 acres held in fee farm, freehold and leasehold. Family members mentioned in the rental were the Reverend Thomas Walker, Thomas Walker (deceased), Caroline Walker (widow), Thomas Henry Walker, Wallis Adams Walker, Samuel Walker, Henry George Walker and John Southcote Walker. In the 1870s Wallace Adams Walker of Cassino House, Castlemartyr, owned 280 acres in county Cork and the Reverend John Tyrwhitt Walker of Norwich, son of William Walker of Fermoy, owned 729 acres. The ''Limerick General Advertiser'' records the marriage in 1819 of Henry Walker of Fermoy, late captain in the 17th Dragoons and son of Thomas Walker and Caroline Adams of Kilbree, county Cork. The Walker family appear to have been involved in the brewing industry.
