Cyril Onslow

Cyril Winnington Onslow (17 December 1815 – 24 July 1866) was an English cricketer who played for Kent in 1841.

Onslow was the son of Arthur Onslow, a clergyman, and his wife Elizabeth, and was born at Newington in Surrey in 1815.[1]

He played club cricket for Penshurst and Tunbridge Wells Cricket Clubs and for West Kent, generally as an opening batsman.[1] In 1841 he made his only first-class cricket appearance, playing for Kent against England at Bromley. He scored four runs in the only innings Kent batted in and was not out.[2]

Onslow worked in the police force, initially as a constable at Sheerness Dockyard, rising to the rank of superintendent at Tunbridge Wells.

He married Mary Hewlett at Barnstaple in Devon in 1848; the couple had two daughters before Mary's death in 1855.[1] Onslow died at Tunbridge Wells in 1866 aged 50.[3]
