Walter's birth was registered in the Jan-Feb-Mar quarter of 1852 in the Richmond Union Yorkshire district.[1]

Walter's parents, Henry Courtley Hudson and Emma Young, died when he was very young and, though his extended family tried to look after him and his siblings during hard times, he was sent to live at the workhouse in Low Street, New Malton, Yorkshire.

In the 1861 census Walter (age 10) was the inmate of the workhouse in New Malton, New Malton St Leonard, Yorkshire, England.[2]

By the 1860's he was working on the railways as a navvy and worked his way up to become a mainline guard with the North Eastern Railway.

In 1872, the Amalgamated Society of Railway Servants (ASRS) was formed. The ASRS was a trade union for railway workers. He joined early in their formation, and would be an active member of the ASRS for many years.
