Details: 

[Presumably] succeeded the solo business of William Watson (1805–c. 1818).

[Details differ according to sources regarding The Hymns & Anthems as Sung in Protestant Churches & Chapels: Humphries & Smith give the date as c. 1830, but Boydell (Card Index) states that (a) the copy in the Trinity College Dublin library has a watermark of 1818; (b) the publisher's preface is dated 1824; and (c) Hill suggests that it could not be published later than 1826 as the price is marked in British currency and after 1826 the currency was standardised.]
