In the 1911 jurors’ list, he is listed as an engineer at W. C. Jack & Co, located at 26 Leighton Hill Road. In the 1923 jurors’ list, he is listed as a merchant at N. S. Moses & Co., located at Prat Building, 2 Hart Avenue, Kowloon. According to his obituary, the office was located on Queen’s Road Central.

He apparently was well-known in the boxing community.

Daughter Branetta married Eric J. Griffin in the fourth quarter of 1958 (when she was 46) in Uxbridge, UK. She died in December 1973 at the age of 61. It appears they had no children together. In 1965 (the last record available), they lived at 37 Ivy House Road, Ickenham.
