The son of Sir John Barnard Byles and Emma Nash Wedd,[1] he was born in August 1840 at Royston, Hertfordshire. He was educated at Rugby School,[2] before going up to University College, Oxford. While studying at Oxford, Byles made a single appearance in first-class cricket for Oxford University against the Gentlemen of England at Lord's in 1862.[3] Batting once in the match, he was dismissed for 31 runs in the Oxford first-innings by Henry Plowden.[4] A student of the Inner Temple, he was called to the bar in January 1866. He served as a barrister on the South-Eastern Circuit.[1] Byles later served as a Sheriff of Middlesex in 1896. He died at Uxbridge in November 1921.
