He was born in Dublin, August 9, 1710, and entered the Society in Portugal, November 18, 1728.
After his Noviceship he studied Philosophy at Évora, and then for six years taught Latin in the Jesuit schools at Évora, Faro and Coimbra. He made his Theological studies at the University of Coimbra, 1741-1745, and was ordained priest in 1743.
At the end of his studies he was sent to teach Latin at Elvas, and later held a chair of Moral Theology at Faro for two years.
He was recalled to Ireland in 1751, and for the next few years was Chaplain to the household of Lord Trimleston.
In 1755 he was Operarius in Dublin, but no record of the date or place of his death has survived.
