Wilfred James Walker

 3-Wilfred James Walker was born on 29 Mar 1886 in Ulverstone, Tasmania and died on 10 Mar 1959 in Ulverstone, Tasmania at age 72.

Wilfred married Coral Melinda Atkins, daughter of Alfred Thomas Atkins and Alice Mary Stephens, in 1922. Coral was born on 18 Jan 1897 in Deloraine, Tasmania and died on 29 Jun 1924 at age 27.  They had one daughter:

Wilfred next married Evelyn Irene Medwin, daughter of George Medwin and Mary Clarke Duncanson, on 12 Jun 1929 in Ulverstone, Tasmania. Evelyn was born on 14 Jun 1889 in Deloraine, Tasmania and died on 2 Sep 1957 at age 68. They had two children:

Wilfred Walker about 1930

Wilfred went to New Zealand as a young man, but was called home to help his mother with the farm the family was managing. After his mother's death, younger sister Ella kept house for him until her marriage in 1920. In 1922 Wilfred married Coral Melinda Atkins and they had one daughter, but Coral died in 1924. In 1929 Wilfred married Evelyn Irene Medwin of Kindred and they reared two children, of whom the second died in 1953.

Wilfred, who owned a drag saw, was engaged in wood cutting in the early 1920's, but after his marriage managed a property at Forth, commencing a lenghty battle with rheumatism, potato blight, and the crippling burden of working a run-down property. The family left Forth in 1938 with little more then the clothes they were wearing, but after spending a year at Kindred managed to raise the £100 (200 dollars) needed as deposit on a 99 acre property at Sprent. The total price was £1,000 (2,000 dollars) and although the property was later extended, life was never easy.

A member of the family recalls that during the first year at Sprent they picked a ton of blackberries for processing by H. Jones and Co. With income from the blackberries, fowls and a few cows the family was able to make both ends meet. Rabbits also figured prominently in the economy, not only providing revenue from sale of skins and carcasses, but also appearing as items on the family menu, cooked in every conceivable way. As in other branches of the family, baked rabbit with seasoning was a prime favourite, closely followed by rabbit stewed with bacon. However, asserts the informant, the mere sight of cooked rabbit today is hardly bearable. Sheep were occasionally killed for provisions, and the family had roast beef on Sundays. Irene was a true farmer's wife, managing the fowls and blackberrying and excelling as  housewife, in short, an outstanding help to her husband.

Wilfred and Irene retired to Ulverstone in 1950, and resided there until Irene's death on 2nd September, 1957, and Wilfred's on 10th March, 1959.
