Is this him in Oxford Alumni database on Ancestry? If so,his father is "...Robert of St Michael's,Oxford(city),pleb.

http://www.rootschat.com/links/01o62/

I think that fits!  And if so, there are a couple of sibling possibilites in that list too!

Richard Walker, 5s Robert of st michaels, oxford, pleb. NEW Coll., matric, 15 Dec., 1826, aged 22;
clerk 1826-32, BA 1830, MA 1837, chaplain 1832-1841, perp. curate Seathwaite, Broughton-In-Furness, 1861, until his death 11 March, 1875, father of Sydney R. M.

Robert Francis Walker, s. Robert, of Oxford (city), pleb.  NEW COLL, matric 2 Dec 1806, aged 17; BA 1811, MA 1813, chaplain 1812-1815, chorister Magdalen College 1800-6, clerk 1806-12, curate of Purleigh, near Malden, died 31 Jan, 1854, father Walter N.  See Bloxam, i. 207

I see Majm has found an article showing that Robert FW is indeed a brother, which makes proof for yet another brother: Rev. George E. C. Walker, uncle to the bride, performed the marriage of Grace, only daughter of the late Rev. Robert F W Walker, etc etc (article on her marriage in 1861).  Rev. George Edwards Cooper Walker is also in the Oxford list.

Right, and what information does it give you about his parents?  Afterall, our OP's topic heading is seeking information about the parents... :)

ADD  'Great Haddow' likely to be 'Great Baddow'.  :)
