I cannot find anything that pushes this person over WP:GNG. It's possible that sources are hard to find because he passed away in 1870 and played in the 1820s-1840s, but I can find little to attest to notability or to much of his life other than his playing cricket and some associated statistics. I would normally PROD, but I feel that there might be something out there that leads to this person being notable only because his playing a first-class cricket match in both 1828 and 1841 as attested to on cricinfo means he has a shot at notability as a 14 year playing career isn't normally for players who barely played, but cricinfo only has him playing 2 matches over those 14 years.

- Redirect to List of English cricketers (1826–1840)#L Doesn't seem to be enough to pass GNG (although there may well be coverage in past papers). However there is a suitable redirect here per WP:ATD. Rugbyfan22 (talk) 09:18, 1 April 2023 (UTC)
