David lived with his parents in a house in Stafford Street, Bilston. He was regarded as a suspicious character by the Police for at least three years past. He called himself a puddler and occasionally worked as a collier but did very little work. Although he mixed with men of the criminal type, David had never been convicted before. At the March Assizes in 1861 he was tried for being concerned in a burglary in Bushbury nr. Wolverhampton but was acquitted. At the same Assizes his mother was tried for having felonious possession of some property belonging to St. Philips Church, Penn Fields, nr. Wolverhampton but she too was acquited.

While in Prison awaiting death, David wrote a letter to his mother. He also gave his father a tabacco box.
