Biographical History
English actor.
An actor, he was born at Dublin on 25 April 1818 and after meeting George Coppin in 1854, agreed to go to Australia. He left at the end of November and arrived at Melbourne on 22 February 1855. He stayed in Australia for more than six years and apparently he did his best work there. The critics were unanimous in placing him as one of the great actors of all time, although occasional failures were admitted. After returning to England, he eventually lost everything and began drinking again. His second wife and George Coppin arranged a 2 year contract in Australia and he left on January 1st, 1866 on the S.S. London which sank in a storm ten days later. As the only surviving boat pulled away he apparently called "Give my last farewell to the people of Melbourne".
