He was a son of Charles John Walker (1807-1870), police clerk, and his wife Harriett Cole or Kent. Charles J Walker was a resident of Tasmania for 42 years, but moved to 'Blair Gowrie', South Yarra, Victoria. He died just 13 days after his son Charles A Walker married Catherine Turner at St John's Church, Launceston, on 5 Feb 1870. Catherine was the only daughter of W Turner, a tanner. Their six children were born between 1871 and 1880, the last three at 'Rostella' on the East Tamar.

Charles died aged 69 on 1 Apr 1907 in Geelong, Victoria.
