He was curate of Hentland, Hereford, (which is about 3 miles from Hoarwithy), 1839-41, then Vicar of Kimbolton from 1841 to 1903 and later lived at Leominster. His wife, Emma Sarah was a keen and respected entomologist, showing exceptional skill in the rearing of butterflies and moths.

His son, Thomas, became a solicitor and was based in Hereford (in part). He was Secretary and then President of the Woolhope Society about 1899/1900. He died in 1916. He contributed papers on Birds and Snakes, and took part in botanical expeditions. His sister, Sarah, is also mentioned in the Transactions as recording bird sightings.

Desmond's entry for the son records him as a Rev, whilst various census returns indicate that he was a solicitor.
