William Henry Walton (31 August 1799 – 23 November 1882) was an English cricketer. Walton's batting style is unknown. He was born at Holborn in London.[1]
Walton made his debut for Kent against Surrey at Sevenoaks Vine in 1828. He was dismissed for 6 runs in Kent's first-innings of 177, though which bowler dismissed him is not recorded. Surrey made 66 in their first-innings, with Kent making 84 in their second-innings, with Walton scoring 13 runs before he was dismissed by William Mathews. Surrey were dismissed for 41 in their second-innings, to lose the match by 154 runs.[2] He later made a second appearance for the Gentlemen of Kent against the Marylebone Cricket Club at the West Kent Cricket Club Ground in 1833.[3] The Marylebone Cricket Club made 84 in their first-innings, while in the Gentlemen of Kent's first-innings of 117, Walton was run out for a duck. In response, the Marylebone Cricket Club could only manage to make 48, with Walton not being required to bat during the Gentlemen of Kent's second-innings, with them winning the match by 8 wickets.[4]
He died at Surbiton, Surrey on 23 November 1882.
