Paul visited his brother Thomas in Sandpit Gate, the home of the deputy ranger of Windsor Great Park from 1746. Thomas Sandby (1721-1798) also did watercolors, and was also an early member of the Royal Academy. In 1743 Thomas became private secretary to William Augustus, Duke of Cumberland who in 1746 became ranger of Windsor Great Park and Thomas Sandy was appointed the deputy ranger.
