He grew up in Monasterevin, appearing there in the 1901 census with his parents and siblings. By 1911 he had moved to the city of Dublin, where he worked as a draper's clerk and lived with his aunt (his father's sister) Rosanna Farrell at 19 Stephen Street, to the south of the city centre in the civil parish of St Peter.
