William Humphrey (15 September 1843 — 24 February 1918) was an English first-class cricketer.
Humphrey was born at Mitcham in September 1843. In 1862, he was engaged at Southampton by Hampshire, where he remained for three seasons. [1] In his second season, Hampshire County Cricket Club was founded. However, it was for his native Surrey that he made his debut in first-class cricket, against Sussex at The Oval in 1864; he made three further first-class appearances for Surrey in 1864, and later in that season he made four first-class appearances for Hampshire (playing two matches each against Middlesex and Sussex; the first match against Sussex was Hampshire County Cricket Club's inaugural first-class match).[2] In eight first-class matches, Humphrey scored 99 runs at an average of 7.61;[3] with the ball, he took 6 wickets with best figures of 3 for 61.[4] Thereafter in 1865, he was engaged at East Dereham or Swaffham, and played minor matches for Norfolk.[1] Humphrey remained in Norfolk in later life, dying at Norwich in February 1918. His brothers, Richard, Thomas and John, all played first-class cricket.
