Biography
watercolourist, surveyor and draughtsman, came from Ireland and worked in the New Zealand Department of Harbours and Rivers in 1857-59. In the early 1860s he moved to the north coast of New South Wales as chief draughtsman in the New South Wales Department of Harbour and River Navigation. He married the natural history artist Helena Scott in 1864 and the following year was instructed to survey the Darling River. His wife accompanied him and both collected and drew botanical specimens. In the vicinity of Menindee (New South Wales) they contracted fever. Although Helena recovered, Edward died at Balranald, aged thirty-seven, on 20 June 1866. A collection of his field sketches in the Mitchell Library includes The Macleay River. The Heads (watercolour), Mt. Arakoon. Trial Bay March 1861 (watercolour) and Pilot Station. East Ballina.
