Hello Elizabeth Sorry, Hogan is my married name and I don't know anything about them, except for the fact that they came from Lockhardt/Milbrulong in the Riverina. It might be worth your while to look up http://austcemindex.com/inscriptions.php - you never know! Meanwhile, are you any relation to Elizabeth Walker ex Glebe Point? Descended from the Dempseys? Robyn

Hello Robyn, That's fine, about the Hogan line - my father /never/ spoke about his family at all, except that part of the family which had so many boys in it, that they could field a whole team for either cricket or football, and they were on his mother's side !!! On their own, "Elizabeth" is one of the most common names for girls (Biblical), as is Walker (trade name) for the surname. The name "Walker" came from the middle ages, when spinning and weaving wool was done by hand, and as the cloth was woven it was spread out on the fIoor and folk walked on the cloth to get it looking straight and even. There are a lot of "trade names" like walker, butcher, baker, etc.etc. My ex-husbands Walker family came from Aberdeen in Scotland, where the person my children descend from, was a boat builder. One of this man's sons came out here with the family of his new wife who died in childbirth, and he remarried into the Wallace family who had also come here from Scotland. I don't know any Dempseys, except that my cousin has a cousin on her late father's side I think, whose Christian name is/was Dempsey. happy hunting, Elizabeth, one of the many Elizabeth Walker women.

  Hello Elizabeth Walker, There's three lots of Walkers I am interested in. I wonder if you might be related to any of them.   Some are/were very rich and/or very religious. 1)  James Walker who formed the "Wallerowong" property north of Lithgow. 2)  Walker the Wesleyan missionary who formed the "Blacks Town" (modern day Blacktown Shire is named after that place). 3)  The Walkers of Concord who built grand houses and a hospital there donated to the people of NSW (perhaps related in turn to "1" above). I believe they are in general a Scottish or from-Scotland lot?   My lot (father's side) are also from Scotland but maybe before then from the semi-murky "Doggerland"?
