The Walkers of Southgate were an English cricketing family who lived at Arnos Grove house in Southgate, Middlesex, England.[1] The family fortune was partly built through the brewing company Taylor Walker, and the Walker brothers – seven of the twelve children of brewer Isaac Walker (1794–1853) and Sarah Sophia Taylor (1801–1864) – were all sent to Harrow School and Trinity College, Cambridge, where they became keen cricketers. The brothers were the nephews of cricketer Henry Walker and the great-grandchildren of merchant Isaac Walker.
