Daldy was born in 1816 in Rainham, Essex, England.[1] He started going to sea at an early age on ships belonging to his father Samuel Rootsey Daldy. His seafaring first brought him to Auckland in July 1841.[2]
He represented the City of Auckland electorate in the 2nd New Zealand Parliament from 1855 to 1860, when he was defeated. He did not serve in any subsequent Parliaments. He was a minister without portfolio in the government of William Fox, and was also a member of the Auckland Provincial Council.[3]
