Daniel was trained as watch maker and jeweller in Manchester England. He was convicted with his brother Jacob Charles Cohen in Liverpool Quarter Session 18 January 1830 for receiving stolen goods and spent time in gaol In England. His brother John Joel Cohen unsuccessfully petitioned the King for his release. As it was Daniel's second conviction he was sentenced to transportation for life to Australia.

After arriving in Australia his brother Mosely Moss Cohen , a jeweller in George st Sydney, attempted to secure his assignment to his business. Daniel's other brother John Joel Cohen was a silversmith who also had a business in George st Sydney ( The Temple of Fashion, later JJ Cohen & Son). Another brother Baron Barnett Cohen ran a pub in Hunter st Sydney. After working for his brother Mosely Moss Cohen's business for a while, Daniel had a falling out with his brother and started his own shop selling clocks and watches and spectacles, some imported from his sister Amelia Franks (nee Cohen) thriving business in England.
