He appeared on the 1881 census as living in Little Bolton and was described as a general clerk in the county court.

In 1884 he was a founder member of the Blackpool Sketching Club and a member of the Fylde Art Society and Sketching Club, becoming its Honorary Secretary in 1926. He was also President of Blackpool Art Society in 1930.
