Sir Edmund Yeamans Walcott Henderson (1821-1896), commissioner of the Metropolitan Police 1869-1886 and previously comptroller of convicts in Western Australia, born in Muddiford Hampshire in 1821, was clearly the namesake of the Edmund Yeamans Walcott of the award, and possibly a relative: his mother is given as Frances-Elizabeth, nee Walcott Sympson, in the Australian Dictionary of Biography.
