Francis Seath Clifford (17 December 1822 – 17 November 1869) was an English cricketer who played for Kent County Cricket Club between 1849 and 1860. He was born in Bearsted in Kent and made his first-class cricket debut for the county in 1849 against Yorkshire at Hyde Park in Sheffield.[1][2]
Clifford played in a total of 53 known first-class matches, almost all of them for Kent sides. He played two matches for England representative sides and once for the Players.[2] He sometimes played as a wicket-keeper.[2] His older brother William played for Kent teams before the county club was established in 1842 and his grandfather, Robert, had played for Kent sides in the late 18th century.[2] Clifford died at Gravesend in Kent in 1869 aged 46.[1]
