Percival Andree Pickering (8 February 1810 – 7 August 1876) was an English first-class cricketer and lawyer.
Pickering was born at London in February 1810.[1] He made a single appearance in first-class cricket in 1846 for the Surrey Club against the Marylebone Cricket Club at Lord's.[2] He batted in both Surrey Club innings', being dismissed without scoring by William Hillyer in their first-innings, while in their second-innings he was dismissed by Jemmy Dean for 3 runs.[3]
Pickering married Anne Maria Spencer-Stanhope, the daughter of John Spencer Stanhope, in 1853.[1] He was appointed as a Queen's Counsel.[1] The couple had three children: the author Anna Pickering; the chemist and horticulturist Percival Spencer Umfreville Pickering; and the painter Evelyn De Morgan. He died at Dover in August 1876. His brother, William, was fundamental in the formation of Surrey County Cricket Club.
