 William was also an artist who studied under [[wp>Thomas_Sidney_Cooper|Thomas Cooper]].((TLM-P, Diary, 9 August 1882, ML. Four of Cooper's paintings are in the Art Gallery of NSW, see [[https://www.artgallery.nsw.gov.au/collection/works/?artist_id=cooper-thomas-sidney]])) The following damaged unframed painting of herefords is in Cooper's style (see [[https://www.google.com.au/search?q=Sidney+Cooper+painting&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjCl9Ly8-neAhVUSX0KHWK2BVEQ_AUIDigB&biw=1920&bih=938#imgrc=A7g6hqw_cNPk0M:|Cooper painting]]) so may be one of William's in imitation when he was learning. Alternatively, Jemima gave TLM-P at least one painting by Cooper, one with trees in it, which TLM-P described as having been bought by their father, so this painting maybe by Cooper himself.{{:cattle_enhanced.jpg?300|}} ((Provenance: From G.S.

+William died at Portsmouth from a gunshot wound on 5 February 1844 – presumably an accident when training. He was buried in the Portsmouth Garrison Cemetery. When listing his family, his brother consistently TLM-P wrote that William died aged 22 years, 2 months and 18 days old – a precision which suggests profound grief.((‘Questions to be answered by T.L.M-P’, 6pp Memoranda by the Herald Office, Somerset House, London re Burke’s Colonial Gentry; TLM-P, genealogical notes in John & John B. Burke, //A Genealogical and Heraldic Dictionary of the Landed Gentry of Great Britain & Ireland: M to Z//, London: Henry Colburn Publisher, 1846.)) Five years later, TLM-P and his wife named their second son William Augustus: sadly this [[matilda_m-p_and_her_children|William]] soon died.((J. Godden) recollects her mother complaining that she wanted to call her son William but was told by her mother-in-law not to as it was unlucky - all William M-Ps died; she then thought of the name '[[john_murray_prior_bertram_murray|John]]' but for reasons this link makes clear, that was not approved by the family either!))\\
