Originated from England, worked as an estate manager for the Anglo-Irish landowner Lord Erne in Ireland. Faced hostility from local tenants due to high rents and harsh eviction practices. In 1880, after failing to secure a reduction in rent, the tenants engaged in a campaign of social ostracism against him.
