Richard Alexander Walker (1803-1881) was an attorney at the Court of Exchequer in 1825. His family had worked with Dublin’s Treasury since the 1740s and his uncles included a founding member of the Royal Irish Academy, a judge of the Queen’s Bench in Ireland and the Ulster King of Arms. Richard’s descendants ran S. & R. C. Walker & Son, based at 86 Merrion Square, which merged with Matheson, Ormsby and Prentice in 1969.
