Francis Thompson Walker was born in New York City, New York, United States of America on 12 May 1832, the 1st child of Joseph (1798) and Sarah (born Thompson) Walker.
On 6 June 1855 Francis married Catherine Esther Penfold in New York. Somewhat later, in May 1856, Francis was disowned by the Hardwick and Randolf Quaker Monthly Meeting for “marrying-out”. This means that Catherine was not a Quaker. Francis is shown on the 1880 Census as a “Banker”. Also Mary, Anne, Catherine and Francis are still at home with one housekeeper from England and four servants from Ireland.
Francis and Catherine had 5 daughters, all born in New York:-
