William Molloy (Manitoba politician)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
William Molloy was a politician in Manitoba, Canada. He served in the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba from 1910 to 1914, as a member of the Liberal Party.
Molloy was elected to the Manitoba legislature in the 1910 provincial election, defeating Conservative incumbent Jean-Baptiste Lauzon by nine votes in the rural constituency of La Verendrye. The Conservatives won the election, and Molloy served in the legislature as a member of the opposition. He was defeated in the 1914 election, losing to Conservative Jacques Parent by 262 votes in the Morris constituency.
Molloy attempted to return to the legislature in the 1915 election, but lost to Parent by 67 votes.
A barrister named "William A. Molloy" contested Winnipeg North Centre for the Liberal Party of Canada in the 1949 federal election, and finished second against Cooperative Commonwealth Federation incumbent Stanley Knowles. It is not clear if this was the same person.
