Listed in the Dublin Directories as an 'Engraver and publisher of sacred music' in 1831.

[Details differ according to sources regarding The Hymns & Anthems as Sung in Protestant Churches & Chapels: Humphries & Smith gives the date as c. 1830, but Boydell states that (a) the copy in the Trinity College Dublin library has a watermark of 1818; (b) the publisher's preface is dated 1824; and (c) Hill suggests that it could not be published later than 1826 as the price is marked in British currency and after 1826 the currency was standardised.]
