By the 1830s, he manufactured table knives at Leicester Street and operated a beerhouse in Edward Street. He also once had a job as a letter carrier. He was bankrupt in 1834 and the premises in Leicester Street – which included workshops, warehouses, and six hearths – were offered for sale (Sheffield Independent, 7 June 1834.

His widow died on 24 November 1871, aged 63, and was buried in the same cemetery.
