Thanks for looking further into this, I'm thinking this could be on the right track, as in the book that the great Grandson wrote he did mention (Dawson) in Thomas's name..
very much appreciate :-)
Kind regards Jill

Hello ShaunJ

Thank you so much for all this fabulous information.. 
We did find a book written by Whimsical's Great Grandson Robert Breen, who informs that Thomas Henry Walker was born on 21/7/1851.

WHIMSICAL WALKER BIOGRAPHY
This is details of what Robert wrote:

WHIMSICAL WALKER
A clown of mystery
(Written by Robert Breen - great grandson of Whimsical Walker)
Mention the name "Whimsical Walker" and many different versions of who he was will be presented. This is the definitive outline:
Whimsical Walker toured the world 3 times, during the fourteen years he was with Hengler's Circus; and played 21 seasons in pantomime at the Drury Lane Theatre.
He came into the world on 21st July 1851, as Thomas Henry (Dawson) Walker - the son of the landlady of the inn The March of Intellect, in Hull, and Robert Stanley Walker, an advance man for Cooks' Circus.

I shall pass all this other information onto my relatives.
Once again many thanks.  :)

Hello  :)

This is a first time for me on this site and hope that you may be able to assist.  I have just recently found out that I could be a distant relative of Whimsical Walker (Thomas Henry (Dawson) Walker born 21/7/1851. His father was Robert Stanley Walker and we believe his mother to be the landlady of the pub The March of Intellect in Hull.  I can not find the pub or any details of her. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Kind regards
Jill Upton (Edmondson)
