He was born in London, England in November 1826, where he grew to manhood & learned the trade of iron molder, devoting 6 years to the work & becoming expert in what is known as the heavy branch of the business. He made the castings for the engines used in the House of Parliament, & later accepted the superintendency of the gun works in Calcutta, India, where were made the guns used in the siege of Lucknow.
