Gerald Elliott Kenworthy Browne (14 May 1850 – 6 July 1910) was an English cricketer active in mid-1870s. Browne was a right-handed batsman.
Born at Goldington Hall, Goldington, Bedfordshire, he was the son of William Kenworthy Browne and his wife Elizabeth Elliott. His father was a close friend of Edward FitzGerald the poet, and Gerald and his brother Elliott are mentioned in the 1904 biography of FitzGerald by Thomas Wright, as having the poet as a companion when they were boys.[1]
His father died in 1859 after a horse-riding accident.[2] Browne was educated at Rugby School, from 1863, with his brother, their mother living in Rugby town.[3] He made his debut in first-class cricket for Gloucestershire against Surrey in 1874 at The Oval, with him making a second first-class appearance for the county in that season against Sussex at the County Ground, Hove.[4] He scored 20 runs in these two matches, top-scoring with 12.[5]
Browne died at Kilmacanogue, Ireland on 6 July 1910. His brother Elliott was also a first-class cricketer.
