  Noted events in his life were:

• Occupation: Mailman Crookwell to Tuena, 1896-1906, Crookwell, King County, New South Wales. There is some conjecture that he ran the mail run from Crookwell to Goulburn. Perhaps he did both.

In addition to mail and passengers, he used to carry gold. He wrapped the gold in newspaper and kept it at his feet. He was never robbed.

• Occupation: Blacksmith & Shop Keeper, Bef 1911, Maronglo, New South Wales, Australia. One the first day a big team of draught horses arrived to be shod. And it nearly killed him and we think this is the reason he does not seem to have kept on the blacksmithing.

• Moved: from Morongla Creek to Orange, Cir 1914, Orange, Wellington County, New South Wales. There are two stories of why they left the shop and moved to Orange. One is that it was too dusty. The other is that the business was running at a loss because the debtors were not paying their debts.

• living: "Bony Brae" in Summer Street, After 1914, Orange, Wellington County, New South Wales. Had a wood yard at the back of the house and they sold wood.
