James Augustus Parker (1820 – 7 January 1899) was a miner, mill proprietor, and member of the Queensland Legislative Assembly.[1]
Parker was born around 1820 to parents John Parker and his wife Rebecca.[2]
When the member for the Queensland state seat of Burke, William Hodgkinson, resigned in 1875 to head up a government expedition, Parker won the subsequent by-election unopposed.[3] Parker himself went on to resign the seat in June of the following year.[1]
He died at Jembaicumbene, New South Wales in 1899[1] and was buried in the Braidwood General Cemetery.[4]
