Osmond Charles Ardagh (1 November 1900 – 1 February 1954) was an English first-class cricketer who played a single match for Oxford University in 1922.[1] He was born at Haslemere, Surrey and was found drowned in the river Thames at Wallingford, then in Berkshire.

Cricket career

In his single first-class cricket appearance, he opened the batting in the match against Leicestershire and scored just two runs.[2] He also played a few matches for Surrey's second eleven in the Minor Counties in 1920 and 1922.[1]

Personal life

In 1925, when his forthcoming marriage to Margot Irene Biheller was announced in The Times, he was credited as "of the Nyasaland Government Service".[3] When she died in 1969, The Times recorded that they had had two sons, John and Hugh.[4] His son John Ardagh was a noted journalist and writer on contemporary France. His grandson Arjuna Ardagh is a writer, and the founder of Awakening Coaching.
