He was bankrupt in 1861 but by 1871 he was an accountant and sheriff officer and had married and acquired a stepdaughter. By the 1881 census he was living in Breezyhill and it's likely he was the first occupant. By 1891 he was a an auctioneer  journalist and sheriff officer. By 1901 he was 75 years old and a journalist.
