Biography

Kelly was born in 1855 at Carluke, South Lanarkshire, Scotland.[1] He became an orphan aged 14.[2] He learned the trade of a tailor, and married Elizabeth Millar, the daughter of James Millar of Motherwell in Lanarkshire. The couple emigrated in 1875 on the Aldergrove to New Zealand, landing in Port Chalmers in Otago.[1][3] They later moved south to Invercargill.[3]

He represented the Invercargill electorate in the House of Representatives from 1890.[4] He was in favour of land nationalisation and progressive taxes.[5]

In 1895, he broke away from the Liberal Party and became an Independent Liberal.[2] He was defeated in the 1899 election.[4]

From 1892 to 1894, Kelly served as president of the federated New Zealand Workers' Union.[6]

Kelly died on 15 December 1938.[1]
