Hi Sarah.. There are a few artists with this name but I think the most likely is a British artist who was most active during the mid 1800's. This is similar to his style. If you take a good picture of the signature you may have better luck finding out for sure using reverse image search.. It is a beautiful painting.. You're very lucky to own it!

look for it on google images and tin eye. but ideally its best to drop this off at a gallery or an auction house, we can't do much about it here online and with a small image. we aren't art experts, and even if you find out who did it, it may not be worth as much as you want it to be.
