Edgar Francis Talman Sheldrake (18 January 1864 – 14 December 1950) was an English first-class cricketer. Sheldrake was a right-handed batsman and a fast bowler.
Edgar Sheldrake was born in Aldershot in Hampshire in 1864, the son of William Henry Sheldrake (1816–1885), a stationer and printer of Sheldrake's Aldershot Military Gazette,[1] and Caroline Ann née Beadnell (1821–1885);[2] he was baptised at St Michael's church in Aldershot in March 1864.[3] As a young man he joined his father's publishing and printing business in Aldershot.[4]
Sheldrake represented Hampshire in three first-class matches. The first came in 1884 against Sussex. His final first-class match came against Surrey in the 1885 season, which was to be Hampshire's final season as a first-class county until the 1895 County Championship.
On 3 February 1900 he married Lucy Maunde (1862–1935) at St Bartholomew's church in Haslemere in Surrey.[5] There were no children from the marriage.[6] After his cricketing career he continued to work for the family newsagent and stationers business.[6]
Sheldrake died in Surbiton, Surrey on 14 December 1950.
