"Emigrated to South Australia in 1874"

Where do you see your CUMMING family in South Australia at 1874?


"Susan had a brother, Mr H Walker who joined her in South Australia."

What do you know about brother "H"  and his arrival in Australia?

This is them!

I know a lot about George Lewis Cuming and his family in Australia. George Lewis was 3rd Officer in charge of the construction of the Tiparra Lighthouse in Spencer Gulf and went on to be a Supervisor in the construction of the New Adelaide Tramway Co. His eldest son started a successful Furniture company in Port Lincoln and expanded into Adelaide.

I know nothing of the Walker family and Susan's brother, H Walker is a mystery.

Thanks again!
