Henry Hoare (cricketer, born 1844)

Henry William Hoare (1 April 1844 – 7 September 1931) played first-class cricket for Oxford University and other amateur teams in the 1860s.[1] He was born at Three Bridges, Sussex, England and died at Pimlico, London.

Hoare's older brother, Hamilton Hoare, played first-class cricket for Sussex. Like his brother, who did it in 1882, Henry Hoare changed his surname to "Hamilton-Hoare" in 1908 in order to benefit from a Hamilton inheritance from the family of his mother.[2]

Sporting career

Hoare had a significant sporting and academic career at Eton College and Balliol College, Oxford University.[2]
