He came from Salford. He worked as a milk boy from the age of four. He worked as a tier-boy to a block printer for 1s 6d a week. At the age of eight he worked for [[Jacob Bright]] of Rochdale, as a half-timer, whereby he spent some time at school, and worked in cotton mills until the age of fifteen.
==Career==
For fifteen years he worked on the railways.
===Dairy industry===
He entered the dairy industry in 1858. He was one of the founders of the Worleston Dairy Institute, the first of its kind in the UK, at [[Aston juxta Mondrum]] in [[Cheshire]], which closed in 1926.
He later owned Rose Tree Farm and Black Greyhound Farm, with 85 acres, at [[Lostock Gralam]], near [[Northwich]] in Cheshire.
===Milk sterilisation===
He started the commercial sterilisation ([[pasteurization]]) of milk in the UK in 1894. It was provided by the Cheshire Sterilised Milk Company. This meant that milk could then be stored for a longer time.

He lived at Victoria Lodge, on ''Lower Broughton Road'', in [[Broughton, Greater Manchester|Higher Broughton]] in the [[County Borough of Salford]] (near where the A576 crosses the [[River Irwell]]).
He was on Salford Town Council for many years.
