He was born in Malmsbury, Victoria to quarryman George Morley and Mary Cahill.

During World War I he was a captain in the Australian Imperial Force, and was wounded and invalided home. In 1920 he was elected to the Victorian Legislative Assembly for Barwon as an independent Nationalist, but he was an official Nationalist from 1921. He was Assistant Minister of Public Works from 1928 until his death in Brighton in 1929.[1]
