painter, wax modeller(?) and clergyman(?), showed two portraits of women in the August 1853 exhibition of the Victorian Fine Arts Society. He had possibly come to Melbourne via Adelaide.

Morrison (sic), an Independent minister listed in the Melbourne Directory for 1853, may provide the connection.
