Hamilton Ross (26 August 1849 - 29 March 1938) was an English cricketer who made 20 first-class appearances between 1874 and 1891. He played twelve first-class matches for the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC), and also appeared for Middlesex and Somerset. A right-handed batsman, he occasionally played as wicket-keeper.
Born in Grenada, British West Indies, Ross was educated at the Hermitage School, Bath, then became a student in the Middle Temple and later a barrister. He practised in both London and Bath.[1]
In 1869, while playing for Gentlemen of Sussex against the Players of Sussex, he scored 101 in the second-innings after being promoted from batting at number eleven in the first-innings to opening in the second.[2] A prolific scorer in club cricket, he hit six centuries in 1871.[3] On his first-class debut however, Ross made a pair for the Gentlemen.[4] He played one match for Middlesex in 1876, making 35 & 1 during a draw with Oxford University.[5]
During the late 1870s, Ross played a number of matches for the 'Gentlemen of Somerset', a team of amateurs that were forerunners for Somerset County Cricket Club.
