frederick bury

frederick maxwell bury -lrb- 26 february 1836 -- 4 july 1885 -rrb- was an english cricketer who played two matches for demerara , an antecedent of the present guyanese national side , while resident in british guiana in the 1860s .
bury was born in radcliffe-on-trent , nottinghamshire , in 1836 , where his father was the vicar .
he was the second of three brothers who all played first-class cricket -- thomas william -lrb- 1831 -- 1918 -rrb- played for cambridge university , and william -lrb- 1839 -- 1927 -rrb- played for cambridge university , nottinghamshire , and gentlemen of the north .
frederick bury made his debut for demerara in what was retrospectively considered the inaugural first-class match in the west indies , played against barbados at the garrison savannah , bridgetown , in february 1865 .
in that match , he opened the batting with calvin gilbert in each innings , but scored only seven runs across two innings as demerara was dismissed for 22 and 38 -- no demeraran made double figures .
bury took two wickets in barbados ' innings of 74 and 124 , with barbados winning the match by 138 runs .
in the return fixture , at the parade ground , georgetown , in september 1865 , bury and gilbert , the two opening batsmen of the previous match , batted much lower in the batting order .
the match was again a low-scoring encounter , with demerara faring better than the previous encounter , eventually winning the match by two wickets after an unbeaten 39 not out from replacement opener william watson .
bury took a single wicket in barbados ' first innings , that of augustus smith , but went wicketless in the second innings .
bury eventually returned to england , dying at bishop 's stortford , hertfordshire , in july 1885 , aged 49 .
