John Woolley (cricketer)

John Turton Woolley (27 September 1822 – 24 June 1894) was an English first-class cricketer.

The son of Thomas Smith Woolley, he was born in September 1822 at South Collingham, Nottinghamshire. After being home schooled, he went up to Magdalene College, Cambridge.[1] Although he did not play first-class cricket for Cambridge University, he did play a single first-class match while studying at Cambridge, when he appeared for the North against the Marylebone Cricket Club in 1845 at Nottingham.[2] Batting twice in the match, he was dismissed without scoring by Jemmy Dean in the North's first-innings, while in their second-innings he was dismissed for 3 runs by William Hillyer.[3] Graduating from Cambridge in 1846, he became a student of the Lincoln's Inn, before migrating to the Inner Temple, where he was called to the bar in May 1849. He married Mary Flora Kerr in December 1850.[4] Woolley died at Harrow on the Hill in June 1894.
