Strange - thought Francis was single in 1841

Francis Butcher - widower - licensed Victualler married Martha Tucker - widow 16.7.1844

Martha’s father was Joseph Walker occ Tailor - same as on Hannah’s marriage to Francis in 1852. So Hannah & Martha were sisters

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

What do you know about brother "H" that has him arriving in Australia after Susan CUMING who is in SA at 1854?

Corrected to be 1874.
