FreeCen 1861 Census transcription has a George Walker 28 born Old Meldrum with wife Clementina.

That may match up with these references(4 results on the Indexed IGI) -

Hello amandar & ev,
     The marriage for George Walker & Clementina Carmichael is on both A*try & Familysearch. (Not a contributed one)
     George Walker & Clementina Carmichael married 15th Feb,1852 at St Nicholas, Aberdeen.
     Their daughter, Mary Ann Walker, was born 21st Jan,1855 at St Nicholas, Aberdeen. 1855 Certificates, the 1st year of official registration in Scotland, carry a lot of extra information including ages & birth places of both parents. Might be worth viewing actual certificate on ScotlandsPeople.
     
     1861 Census. 1 Pork Lane, Aberdeen. (A*try. Surname transcribed as Walter)
          George  Walter  28  b  Old Meldrum, Aberdeenshire.
          Clementine  "    27  b  St Clements,           "
          William       "      7  b           "
          Mary A        "     5  b           "
          Alexander    "     2  b           "

     1861 Census. 6 Pork Lane, Aberdeen. (Surname transcribed as Kalker)
          (A*try doesn't say whether Hellen is Married or Widowed)
          Hellen  Kalker  42  b  Old Meldrum, Aberdeenshire.
          Ratchel     "     22  b  Aberdeen,             "
          Joseph F   "     17  b       "
          Margret    "      13  b       "
          Johanna Wingerson  2  b  Aberdeen.  (Grandchild)

               Regards,     Dod.
