He later studied at the Royal College of Surgeons in Dublin and practiced as a physician in Wales at Corwen and Wrexham. He moved to California in 1849 during the gold rush, where he intended to combine working as a physician with gold prospecting, but he was robbed and suffered ill health and returned to Wrexham in 1853.
