Francis James Barmby (21 December 1863 – 30 September 1936) was an English cricketer. Barmby was a right-handed batsman who bowled right-arm medium pace. The son of Rev. James Barmby, he was born at Pittington, County Durham, where his father was the Rector. He was later educated at Charterhouse School.[1]
While studying at Magdalen College, Oxford, Barmby made a single first-class appearance for Oxford University Cricket Club against Lancashire at Old Trafford in 1885.[2] During this match, he was dismissed for a duck by Alexander Watson in their first-innings, while in their second-innings he made 6 runs, before being dismissed by Johnny Briggs.[3] This was his only first-class appearance for the university.
He later made two Minor Counties Championship appearances for Berkshire; in 1900 against Oxfordshire and in 1909 against Buckinghamshire.[4]
In other sports, he won a Blue for Association football in 1886 and was also a good rackets player.[5]
He became a schoolmaster and sub-warden at Radley College, the public school near Abingdon, Oxfordshire.[5] He died on 30 September 1936 at Oxford.
