Thomas Provis Wickham (born 1810 in Weymouth, Dorset; died on 1 March 1890 in Machynlleth), probably best known as an English cricketer.
Wickham was the son of the reverend William Wickham and Margaret Provis,[1] and brother of the reverend William Provis Trelawney Wickham (Rector of Shepton Mallet, the building of the Wickham Almshouses by his widow, was made possible by a bequest from his will).[2] [3] He had two sisters, Annabella (who married James Bennett, Sheriff of Somerset) and Caroline.[4]
According to Bernard Burke[5] the Wickhams (of Horsington) were an ancient Somerset family, belonging to the landed gentry.
In 1835 he married Sarah Hussey.
Little is known about him other than that he was a "gentleman". It is suggested that he spent some time in a debtors' prison.[6]
Wickham made his first-class debut and his only appearance for Hampshire against an All-England Eleven in 1850. In 1851, Wickham made his last first class appearance for the Marylebone Cricket Club against Cambridge University.
