William Jervis

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

William Jervis (January 25, 1827 — March 25, 1909) was an English cricketer. He was a right-handed batsman. He was born in Marylebone and died in Quarndon Hall.

Jervis, who made his cricketing debut back in 1848 for Oxford University Cricket Club, and two years later played first-class cricket for Marylebone Cricket Club, waited until 1873, when he was 46 years old, before he made his one and only appearance for Derbyshire, in a defeat against Lancashire.

Jervis' nephew was Lord Harris, a Trinidadian-born English cricketer who played four Tests for the English cricket team.
