Life

He was born into an upper class, but not wealthy, Roman Catholic family. He studied under Gaspar Gabrielli, and John Comerford, the miniature-painter. He came to London in 1821 and started as a portrait-painter, but gave his attention to drawing caricatures in 1827 or 1828.

He had exhibited his portraits at the Royal Academy, but not selling enough, he changed to lithography for which he was to become famous.

He always signed his work as "H.B." and was only known as such by most people at the time. He was the father of Charles Doyle (father of Arthur Conan Doyle),cite web|title=ARTHUR CONAN DOYLE A BRIEF BIOGRAPHICAL STUDY| author=Christopher Roden| url=http://www.ash-tree.bc.ca/acdsbio.htm| accessdate=2007-11-06] Richard Doyle (illustrator) (1824-1883), Henry Edward Doyle (1822-1892) and James Doyle (1827-1892).
