At the time of his marriage in 1863 he was working as a joiner and living in Cheetham Hill but by 1871 he had become an architect’s clerk and in 1876 was a surveyor in the Broughton Estate Office. He was also involved in the development of land fronting Grecian Street and Yew Street in Lower Broughton.
