Frederick Schomberg Ireland (6 April 1860 – 16 March 1937) was an English amateur cricketer. Ireland was a right-handed batsman who bowled right-arm roundarm.
Cricket
Ireland made his first-class cricket debut for Kent County Cricket Club against Hampshire in May 1878 at Southampton. He played a further first-class match that season against Sussex. He next appeared for Kent in 1887, playing two matches against Middlesex and Lancashire. During the early 1880s Ireland had been active in club cricket at Sidmouth in Devon and had played Devon and for various amateur teams.[1]
Ireland's nephew, John Frederick Ireland, also played cricket and made 28 first-class appearances between 1908 and 1912.[2]
Life
Ireland was born at Port Louis in Mauritius,[2] the son of George Ireland, one of the founders of Ireland Fraser & Co. in Mauritius and his wife, Emily Hartshorne, the daughter of Hugh Hartshorne, a barrister from Halifax, Nova Scotia.[3] He was the grandson of The Rev. Dr. Walter Foggo Ireland, minister of the North Leith Parish Church.[4] Ireland was named after his maternal uncle by marriage, Vice Admiral Charles Frederick Schomberg (1815-1874).
An able golfer, Ireland's most memorable achievements at his home course, the Royal Blackeath Golf Club, are detailed in Bernard Darwin's book Green Memories.[5]
Ireland's daughter, Enid Ireland, married Francis Egerton Pegler, one of the founders of the company now known as Pegler Yorkshire.[6] Her son, Alan Pegler, is known in railway circles as the savior of the Flying Scotsman 4472 steam locomotive.[5]
Trained as a lawyer,[7] Ireland served as a Justice of the Peace.[8]
Ireland died at Menton in the south of France in March 1937 aged 76.[2]
