Thomas Kingsland (16 June 1862 – 8 December 1933) was a New Zealand cricketer. He played one first-class match for Otago in 1886/87.[1]
Life and career[]
Kingsland's father John (1830–1922) was born in England and migrated to the Victorian goldfields in the 1850s. He was mining at Lower Huntly, near Bendigo, when Thomas was born,[2] and moved to Invercargill in New Zealand later that year.[3] John played cricket for Southland and was Mayor of Invercargill in the 1880s.[3][4] He founded a tanning, fellmongery and boot manufacturing company in Invercargill, of which Thomas later took charge.[5]
An all-rounder, Thomas Kingsland played most of his cricket for Southland, representing them in non-first-class matches between 1878 and 1900, including matches against the Australian touring teams in 1878 (when he was 15), 1880 and 1896.[6] He took four wickets in each innings against the touring Tasmanian team in 1884.[7] In his one first-class match for Otago he scored 22 (the top score in the innings) and 18, when Otago lost to Canterbury in 1886–87.[8] He later umpired Southland's first first-class match, when they played Otago at Rugby Park in February 1915.[9]
He married Rosina Louisa Wilde in June 1888.[10] He died in December 1933, survived by his widow, one son and two daughters.[11]
