Edward Evershed (3 November 1867 — 18 February 1957) was an English cricketer who played for Derbyshire between 1888 and 1898.
Life
Evershed was born in Stapenhill, now part of Burton-upon-Trent, Staffordshire (then in Derbyshire), the son of Sydney Evershed the brewer and MP for Burton. In 1888, Evershed played non first-class matches for an Oxford University team and for MCC and then regularly for Derbyshire while they were without first class status until 1893.
Evershed made one first-class appearance for Derbyshire in 1898, as wicketkeeper against Warwickshire. During the season a number of players kept wicket instead of the regular William Storer who still took part in the matches. Evershed batted during the first innings, but did not make a contribution during the second, as the match petered out to a draw.
Evershed was a right-handed batsman and a wicket-keeper, and made one run in the first class game.[1]
Evershed died in Handsworth Wood. His brothers, Sydney, Wallis, and Frank, and cousin Geoffrey Bell, all played first-class cricket, while William Evershed also played first-class cricket in first half of the 19th century.
