He was a member of the New South Wales Legislative Assembly from 1889 until 1894 and a member of the Protectionist Party. Grahame was born in Edinburgh, Scotland and after a minimal education worked as a labourer. He migrated to Australia in 1858 and laboured on road work until he found employment as a tenant farmer and contractor. He eventually kept a jewellery shop in Newcastle and served as an alderman on Wickham Municipal Council and as a member of the local water and sewage board. At the 1889 election, he was the third candidate on the Protectionist list and won the last position in the multi-member seat of Newcastle. However, Grahame was forced to resign from parliament in October 1889 when he became insolvent and he was defeated by James Curley at the subsequent by-election. He regained his seat in April 1891 at a by-election caused by the death of James Fletcher. Grahame was defeated at the 1894 election. He did not hold ministerial or party office.[1] References1. ^{{cite web | title =Mr William (2) Grahame (1875–1945) | work =Members of Parliament | publisher =Parliament of New South Wales | url =http://www.parliament.nsw.gov.au/prod/parlment/members.nsf/1fb6ebed995667c2ca256ea100825164/0c93b3b06cc1be1cca256e3100043544?OpenDocument | accessdate = 30 May 2010 }} {{s-start}}{{s-par|au-nsw}}{{succession box | title=Member for Newcastle | before=James Fletcher/James Ellis| after=James Curley | years=1889 – 1889 | alongside=Fletcher, Brown}}{{succession box | title=Member for Newcastle | before=James Fletcher|after=William Dick | years=1891 – 1894 | alongside=Curley/Fegan, Brown/Scott}}{{s-end}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Grahame, William}} 5 : 1841 births|1906 deaths|Protectionist Party politicians|Members of the New South Wales Legislative Assembly|19th-century Australian politicians |
