He was born in the East End of London, England in 1888, and came to New Zealand about 1905.[1]
He was appointed a member of the New Zealand Legislative Council by the First Labour Government from 8 September 1941 to 7 September 1948, and then from 8 September 1948 to 31 December 1950 when it was abolished.[2] A hotel worker and unionist, he had been associated with John A.
