About Joseph Walton

Joseph Walton was a convict transported to Western Australia. The son of a watchmaker, Walton was born in British North America, but it was in England on 19 July 1851 that he was convicted of burglary and sentenced to ten years' penal servitude. Walton was transported to Western Australia on Dudbrook, arriving in February 1853. After obtaining his ticket of leave, he worked as a carpenter. He received his conditional pardon in July 1856, and the following month he married Fanny Kenney. Over the next few years he worked in the Avon and Greenough districts; his wife did not accompany him and the fact that he was married was not known. Walton took up land at Greenough, and built a hotel there. Later he won a number of contracts to build government buildings, including a one-room school, a police station and a courthouse.
