Brewer.
Born in Ontario on 7 January 1869, son of John Edward Maley (1827-1905) and Wilhelmina Maley (1834-1921), he worked as an expressman before coming to Brandon where he helped to organize the Brandon Brewing and Bottling Company in 1902, in partnership with his brother Edward McKenzie Maley (1851-1940) and Alexander Ferguson. Later shareholders in the company included T. H. Taylor, Robert Addison Clement, and brewmaster William Schwartz. It operated until after Prohibition was repealed in 1923, when it was sold to a Winnipeg syndicate and became the Premier Brewing Company.
On 7 November 1894, he married Emily Jane Clement (1866-1957) at Brandon and they had four children: John Ashley “Jack” Maley (1896-1989), Eleanor Abigail Maley (1900-1979, wife of Harry M. Gibson), Wilhelmina McKenzie Maley (1902-1971), and Stephen Clement Maley (1909-1994). He served on the Brandon city council (1901-1906). In 1912, the family moved into Maley House, at the corner of Victoria Avenue and 16th Street, losing it four years later with the onset of Prohibition. Maley was living in Brandon as of 1923.
He moved to Tampa, Florida and lived there for 17 years, dying in October 1951 and being buried in the Royal Palm South Cemetery in Saint Petersburg, Florida.
