He was born in Dundas, Ontario, the son of William P. Innes, and was educated in Simcoe. He studied law at Osgoode Hall, was called to the bar in 1893 and set up practice in Simcoe. Innes served as town solicitor and was also a member of the local school board. In 1908, he was named King's Counsel. He married Mabel M. Livingston in 1896, with whom he had eight children.

He was named judge for Dufferin County in May 1931. Innes died later that year when his car collided with a stationary freight train at night during a heavy rainstorm.
