According to the 1851 Census Enumerator for the Burley district of Hampshire:
"The Forest Labourers in this district are principally, if not wholly,
occupied in cutting turf, peat and furze in the New Forest, it being the principal
fuelling used by the farmer and the labouring population in the neighburhood
of this extensive forest, there being being no fee or charge beyond the labour
and carriage the latter of which is generally performed by the farmers free of
all expense to those labourers employed by themselves." Between 1860 and
1897 he was in Prince of Wales Hotel, Snake Valley, Carngham, Victoria, Australia.
He died of Valvular Disease of the heart and debility (18 months) on 29 Nov
