The son of John Wheeler and Emma Wadham, he was born in December 1841 at Newport on the Isle of Wight. He first played first-class cricket in 1873, when he made a single appearance for Middlesex against Surrey at The Oval.[1] The following season, he played for the Players of the South against the Gentlemen of the South.[1] He played first-class cricket for Surrey in 1875, making four appearances;[1] in these, he took 5 wickets.[2] Three years would elapse before Wheeler next appeared in first-class cricket, when he played twice for Hampshire against Kent and Derbyshire;[1] against Kent, he claimed his only career five wicket haul when he took 6 for 133 in Kent's first innings.[3] Two years later in 1880, he made a final first-class appearance for Hampshire against Sussex at Hove.[1] In ten first-class matches, he took 14 wickets at an average with his right-arm roundarm medium pace bowling. As a lower order batsman, he scored 80 runs at a batting average of 4.44.[4] In club cricket, he played for Cheam and won the Surrey Cup with them in 1881.[4] Wheeler died at Kennington in October 1907.
