He was born at Colemans Shalfleet on the Isle of Wight to labourer Philip Fallick and Edith Cooper.

He was a St Peters alderman from 1886 to 1893, serving as mayor for a single term in 1888–1889. He was in England from 1893 to 1896, and on his return was an Orangeman and a free trader. In 1901 he was elected to the New South Wales Legislative Assembly as the Independent Liberal member for Newtown-St Peters, moving to Singleton as an official Liberal in 1904. He served as a backbencher until his retirement in 1920. He died in 1926 in Sydney.[1]
