Edward McNiven
Edward McNiven (21 June 1827 – 4 January 1858) was an English
cricketer who played first-class cricket for Cambridge University, Surrey and various amateur sides between 1846 and 1851.[1] He was born at Offley, Hertfordshire and died near Godstone, Surrey
.
McNiven was educated at
Cambridge University, but in 1851 he played four games inside a month for four teams: the Marylebone Cricket Club, Surrey, the Gentlemen in the annual Lord's Gentlemen v Players fixture, and the Gentlemen of England team.[1]
Those were his final appearances in senior cricket.
McNiven became a lawyer and was admitted to the
dog cart overturned in January 1858; the family home at the time was Perrysfield, near Godstone, and in some references this is given as the place of death.[2][5]
