Charles Thomas Weatherby (7 May 1860 – 24 June 1913) was an English first-class cricketer and publisher.
The eldest son of Edward Weatherby, he was born at Kensington in May 1860. He was educated at Winchester College,[1] where he played for the cricket eleven. He was described by Lillywhite's Companion as "a fair bat and field" while at Winchester.[2] From Winchester he went up to New College, Oxford.[3] He played cricket for New College, but did not represent Oxford University Cricket Club in first-class cricket. He did however play one first-class match for the Marylebone Cricket Club against Oxford University in 1882, a year after his graduation from New College.[4] [1] He batted twice in the match, being dismissed for scores of 1 and 15 by Edward Peake and Charles Godfrey respectively.[5] After graduating from Oxford, he worked for the family business, Weatherby & Sons, which was responsible for publishing the Racing Calendar.[1] Weatherby died suddenly in June 1913 at Lindfield, Sussex.[6] [2] His brothers, Francis and John, both played first-class cricket, as did his nephew John Atkinson-Clark.
