From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Walter Church (1829 – 28 February 1901) was an English-born Australian politician.

He was born in London to mariner John Foster Church and Barbara Ann George. He migrated to New South Wales around 1839 and became a custom house agent. On 1 September 1849 he married Annie Esther Stubbs, with whom he had eleven children. A second marriage on 22 April 1899 to Miriam Kate Cohen produced no children. From 1868 he worked as a grocer. In 1869 he was elected to the New South Wales Legislative Assembly for Goldfields West, serving until his defeat in 1872. Church died in Sydney in 1901.[1]
