Andrew McCulloch (politician)
Andrew Hardie McCulloch (1844 or 1845 – 8 May or 28 May 1908) was an Australian solicitor and politician.
His father was a squatter [clarification needed] and solicitor also called Andrew Hardie McCulloch and his mother was Elizabeth (née Griffin), but further details of his birth are unknown.
He was a Sydney solicitor, having been admitted in November 1867, and also a pastoralist with runs near Canonbar.[1] He was elected to the New South Wales Legislative Assembly for Central Cumberland at the 1877 election.[2][3] He held the seat until financial difficulty forced him to resign it in December 1887.[4] He regained the seat at the resulting by-election,[5] however financial difficulty caused him to resign again in May 1888.[1] He announced his intention to recontest the seat at the May 1888 by-election,[6] however he decided not to stand.[7]
He was struck off the roll of solicitors on 29 May 1888.[8]
The Parliament of New South Wales records his date of death as 8 May 1908,[1] however the death notice published in The Argus lists McCulloch as dying at Hawthorn on 28 May 1908, aged 63 years.[9]
