Born in Liverpool in 1821,[1] Hargreaves represented the Suburbs of Auckland electorate in 1860, from 5 April (elected in the electorate's second by-election that year) to 24 July, when he resigned on private grounds.[2] John Logan Campbell was elected unopposed (in the electorate's third by-election that year) to fill the vacancy.[3] He died on 10 April 1880.[4]

Hargreaves was married to a daughter[nb 1] of William Spain, who had been appointed in 1841 as a New Zealand Land Claims Commissioner and had lived in the country until 1845.[1] His wife died on 2 October 1910, aged 84.[5]
