He was photographed with his 4 younger brothers in Durban circa 1902.
He was born a South African in Natal, but the family moved to England when he was still young. He started his working life as an Apprentice with Vickers at Barrow Shipyard but then went to University. He graduated from Queens College, Cambridge in 1911 & gained his MA in 1919. He was deaconed in 1911 and priested in 1912. His curacies were at Workington St. John to 1915 then Millom St. George to 1922. There he was Curate in Charge of Haverigg St. Luke. He also worked as a fitter at Millom Ironworks during the War Years. He was Vicar of Colton from Easter 1922 to 1931. He was also a Canon of Carlisle Cathedral.
After leaving Christ Church he went to Burgh by Sands, where he died on 11th March 1946 at the age of 60 (after an illness of over a month), where he was buried on March 14th
He was a bowls devotee (and a member of the Port Carlisle Club), and also belonged to the Carlisle Burns Club. He was also Chaplain to RAF Great Orton and a Freemason.
From the report in the Cumberland News of 16th March 1946 we know that the service was conducted by the Vicar of Carlisle St. Cuthbert & the Vicar of Kirklinton with the committal conducted by Canon Postlethwaite of Broughton in Furness, with full Masonic Rites.
