Born in Carlisle and worked on the Coleoptera there (together with insects of other orders) often in conjunction with F.H.Day who wrote his obituary in EMM., 78, 1942, p.120. Later he moved to Gretna in Dumfries where he continued to collect and where he died. Day noted that he was a very careful and methodical worker who submitted most of his captures to others for naming. Published many notes in the EMM and other periodicals beginning with ‘Bembidium schuppeli in Cumberland’ in Nat. London, 1899, p.288. His collection is in the Tullie House Museum, Carlisle. (MD 2/04)
