He was a Member of the Queensland Legislative Council. ==Early life== George Harris was born in 1831 in London, England, the son of John Harris and his wife Sarah (née Walton). His family immigrated to Australia when he was two years old.〔 George Harris and his brother John Harris arrived in Brisbane in about 1848. They opened a store in South Brisbane and a warehouse and wharf at Short Street (at the southern end of Alice Street, where Gardens Point Road is today). They traded under the name ''Messrs. J. and G. Harris, merchants''. The partnership was dissolved some years later, after which George Harris then embarked in business as a merchant on his own account under the name ''Messrs. George Harris and Co'', a business he continued to operate until his death.〔 On 13 October 1860, he married Jane Thorn, the daughter of George Thorn (senior) of the Normanby pastoral station and a Member of the Queensland Legislative Assembly, at St Paul's Church in Ipswich, Queensland.
