William John Harlin Moore (10 September 1866 - 14 October 1933) was a member of the Queensland Legislative Assembly.[1]
Moore was born at Boort Cottage, Brighton, Victoria, the son of John Moore and his wife Charlotte (née Harlin).[2] He was educated at Ipswich State and Boys' Grammar Schools and in Queensland and Hurstville College in New South Wales. He was a stock buyer for the Queensland Mercantile Company in 1885 and then took up pastoral pursuits.
He married Lillian Mary O'Hara. Moore died in October 1933[1] and his funeral moved from the funeral parlour of Alex Gow at Petrie Bight to the Toowong Cemetery.[3]
Moore won the seat of Murilla in the Queensland Legislative Assembly at the by-election in 1898 to replace Hugh Nelson who had been appointed to the Legislative Council. He held the seat until 1904 when he did not stand.[4]
He was returned as member again however at the 1907 state election and retired two years later.
